I don't either, but I think it's because it's java.  And it's slow,
eats up memory, and crashes (which I guess is redundant, as I've
already said it's java).  And the yahoo background image quality
sucks.  And the commands are non-intuitive.  And last I checked
(though this may no longer be true) the support for relations sucks.

But there's something else about it that I just don't like, and I
can't quite put my finger on it.  I think it's just because it's java.
