The flip side of a well-risen cake is doming. This isn't a big problem for most, but can be annoying if you bake a lot of layered cakes and want those layers to come out flat from the oven. Additionally, having to cut the top for flat layers means more crumbs–which can be annoying as you add frosting. To prevent cakes from doming in the middle, use cake strips or make your own with aluminum foil and damp paper towels. Personally, I don't mind the minimal doming and cutting off the top to get flat layers. Hey, it means I get to taste it before anyone else... this is a huge advantage when surprising someone with a cake! And the crumb issue is easily fixed by chilling or freezing the cakes.
