I can code on a whiteboard, but it's certainly not something I enjoy. So when interviewing, I often ask for pen and paper. Just like a whiteboard, I have to write code without a computer and IDE, but unlike a whiteboard, I don't have to stand and write code in a position I'm not used to, with a tool I'm not used to (and let's be honest, whiteboard markers are kind of a pain to write with). If I'm going to be disqualified based on my choice of writing medium, well, I probably wouldn't be that keen on working there anyway.
