Yeah in a previous career I was a networking engineer. I ran into a number of folks who were pure (or largely) layer 2 only environments.

In the right situation it's doable and potentially highly desirable due to the simplicity, but requires a lot of discipline by everyone involved, and the right conditions to make it work.

It was a design I supported and thought it was a great idea for the right situation, but I also was hesitant to introduce it to anyone but the 'right customer'.... who probably already knew what they needed to know about it.
