While the honduh guys love to talk about how much struts suck, a modern well designed strut suspension can be just as effective as a double wishbone. Porsche and BMW dont seem to have too many problems winning with them....

Eh, I kind of see it the same way I see Porsche's rear engine. It can work if you put enough effort into it but its not the ideal performance solution. Given a clean slate to build a supercar pretty much everyone would start with double wishbones. Exhibit A: Porsche's own Carrera GT.

For certain applications where durability may be more important or space constraints are a problem then the struts may be a better solution.
