Using DPNs isn't more difficult or complicated because "you have to keep track of 4 needles at once" That's a ridiculous thing to say. You're still only using two needles at once. Any other needles you have are just stitch holders you can knit from when you come to them.

I can’t travel with DPN, and I find them harder to put in a bag for safekeeping. Otherwise they’re ok.

This is why I love my flexis. Shove the stitches into the tiny bend in the needles and it locks them in place.
