It's not the end of the world, it's a minor convenience and better than busy waiting.

There are plenty of cases where you want to manipulate an object but it's not guaranteed that it exists before your code is run. You get similar functionality with:

while not parentObj:FindFirstChild("childObj name") do wait() end

AFAIK, wait() is >= 1/30 of a second, if you wanted to be extra timely you'd instead run every heartbeat.

I read your comment carefully to see whether you've taken the GP's joke further, but alas :)

Ha, yeah. Sailed right over my head. It's really too bad. Both about the what the platform has become and the missed setup.
