I consistently put empty into all unused globals when a script starts.
Unlike HyperCard, in LiveCode you can actually delete them entirely:
delete global gMyGlobal
I don't have a particular hatred for globals either, you just have to
know how to be careful with them. On the other hand, I don't think I've
needed one now for years but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
They are faster and more convenient than a property or a handler, but
their main advantage is that they aren't tied to any particular stack.
That's a big advantage, even if you don't need it very often.
