Im not really getting upset about this, but if you are trying to work yourself into a situation where you come up with good stories, why look at legit literary devices so negatively? Also, acrostics were, at least in the past, were used by poets and writers to sign their works by including their names or psuedonyms in their works through the device. I'm not fighting for or against the acrostic, merely pointing out what it says in the cliches page. Clearly enough people felt strongly enough to put it there. Yes, they have a long literary history, but clearly there are some folks who have negative opinions of them. That's all.
