any reason why should not use $_SESSION

Hi,
is there any reason, whatsoever for not using and relying on sessions.
Of course we assume we put only validated data in sessions.
One reason I see is probably on shared hosting ....seeing others session files (this could be avoided by storing sessions in DB for example).
But generally speaking, dedicated server, is there security problems or any other reason why one would not choose sessions but other weird ways to propagate data between pages.
