What kind of situations? So far none of the comments criticizing AGPL provide an example.

For example an analytics tool like Piwik couldn't really work with AGPL, as it inherently can't prominently offer anything to users.

Unless we're going to interpret "prominent" as "whatever is convenient", this clause restricts AGPL to software which is capable of prominently displaying messages to the user.

Thanks for the example, but I'm still confused. Can't you just add a button to the dashboard for "download source"

Well, that dashboard would be a different piece of software.

It's a poorly written license, it leaves you with no clear answers in this situation.
