I confess that I have created my share of TAB but I now eschew it for the following reasons:

TAB can result in TAB slaves, people who can ONLY play from TAB.
I have friends who have been playing songs for YEARS who insist on pulling out the TAB every time.

TAB can result in TAB true believers, people who think that the TAB is THE way to play the song.
I got tired of people who used my TABs complaining that the way I was playing wasn't like the TAB.

TAB can result in TAB dependency, the inability to learn a song any way other than TAB.
I remember a plea for TAB on another forum. The person was begging for TAB for a song he had wanted to play "for years". In spite of a love for the song and listening to it "for years" he was convinced that he couldn't learn it until he had TAB.

Note the word "can". I am not claiming that any of these results are inevitable, but these sorts of experiences convinced me that TAB was more trouble than it was worth.
