ACLs are actually very nice if you can get over the initial hurdle of figuring out how they work. They're a lot like permissions on Windows, except there's a highly confusing mask entry and umask plays into it... Anyway, a lot of the time with the standard unix permissions you're forced to give access to some people who don't need it. ACLs make it possible to do things right.
