Why would partial classes be problem?
It is just splitting code into  multiple files

  * SomeClass.cs
    common stuff/ base for me in WP7
  * SomeClass.MTch.cs
    MTch specific in MTch project
    SomeClass is linked either with ProjectLinker or manually
  * SomeClass.M4A.cs
    M4A specific in M4A project
  * repeat that for other targeting platforms
      o SL,
      o WF, WPF
        those share the same codebase in BL

Sometimes we split classes into files when working in parallel on the 
same platform...

I'd like to know (and stop if the reason is good enough for tradeoff) 
why not to use partial classes.
So far haven't found a anything and when I see almost all designers are 
using partial class concepts
to hide generated code.

ciao
