To say a Carolina Windom is no good because yours fell down, is saying Ford 
cars are no good because I had a flat tire.

I think the term “Carolina Windom” was given as a cute name in some magazine 
article, describing someones version of an off center fed dipole.

Made from junk, they fall down. 

I have never tried one, so I can’t comment on performance.

You can make a bad antenna (performing)  from good components.
