The main reason I couldn't stand it was because it was such a pain to admin. Scripting anything became a confounding nightmare of VB crap; Logging was horrible, error codes were undocumented, and diagnosing odd behavior was almost impossible because the interface was so abstract and double-talky. It cost all sorts of productivity and I wouldn't touch it again with a 10-foot pole.
