Since the in mast furler is surrounded by a sheath, it adds the complexity of friction added by the sheath in a challenging furling situation. It is true as Ebs01 says that in mast furlers have been around for a long time. However it's also true that while roller furler headsails have become popular, in mast mainsails have not.
