Ponchos are great as long as you are walking in a straightforward manner on a trail. When you have to scramble, etc., a poncho can get to be a tad cumbersome...
Also note that ponchos don't work very well in windy conditions. Go for a hike in sideways rain with your poncho....after that you will probably decide to get rid of your poncho and buy a good jacket and rain pants combo.
