Nylon is still a stupid rope to use for sheets. It's stretchy, slick, less
resistance to chafe, high tendency to kink & hockle, difficult to handle.
The only plus I can think of is that it's cheap.

Even that is relative. The cost per foot of my most recent 5/8" docklines
was roughly the same as 7/16" Sta-Set, which is stronger, if unsuitable for
dock lines.
