In the thread I've branched from to create this topic, the following situation occured:
1. OP asks a question.
2. I "Comment" and provide an answer to the OP's question.
3. Bungie employee "Replies" to my post and confirms that my answer is correct.
The big problem here is that the OP (and anyone else who might benefit from seeing an official Bungie response) is not notified of the reply to my comment... Only I am. Furthermore, unless he chooses to expand the list of replies to my comment, he will never see it.
I know this point has been beaten to death, but I wanted to include a real example to illustrate the point.

I don't understand this feedback. When I replied to your comment, people could clearly see that there are replies to it (view the reply counter and the button to show replies). While it is true that nobody has to look at the replies already made to you before replying as well, this has always been true. In a flat view, this happens even more often, because there isn't an easy way to see all the replies made to you. This way, if you care what people have already said in response to your post, it is right there, in reply order. There are a few advantages of a flat threading model, but this is not one of the places where it holds the advantage.
