I'm a fan. They're normally termed 'Hardcore' tournaments. Much more preferable to 3/3 and horrible 3/7 or 7/7 tournaments. Some players wait until almost the last moment of their allotted time before moving - within the rules, but makes for painful games. I can understand making use of the full time occasionally, but every move. How attenuated do we want ...[text shortened]... in a game where you lose the feel of the position.
So, "here, here" to 0/21!!

For my part, I like to come on site and play for a couple of hours or so.
The way I achieve this, is by having between 20 or 30 games ongoing and so there are usually games to move in when I log in.
If someone is active(green light on) I play those games until they or I go offline.
Consequently when my 2 hours or so are up there may still be games to play which may get close tp the timebank limit.
I suspect I am not alone in this method of play and so the longer timeframe formats are invaluable.

Edit: I'll support 0\21 merely because there's a need for it, obviously...
