Since I discovered tablatures, I thought it was a great idea, specially for
those who cannot write/read music.

I started using it for my compositions. In my second band I used to compose
guitar and bass lines, so I used TABs to distribute the music to the other
band members. Problem? Well, you can see the bunch of numbers that tells you
what to play, but it doesn't tells you how to play. I mean, tempo and duration
of notes. 
So I started using Guitar Pro (http://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php). It
allows you to write/read tablatures and play it, but you can also use the
music sheet, so you can use tempo and durations. My band ended having all the
songs in this format, which was quite useful.
