Why does breaststroke get a bad rap?

And I'm pretty much the same way with fly, unless doing IM sets I try to avoid it. Although I'm finding out that the more I do it (even little bits), I'm getting a little better, and it isn't so bad. I read somewhere, maybe even on these forums, that there are breaststrokers and butterflyers, and it is rare to have someone like and be highly proficient at both. I think quite a few breaststrokers are good at fly and vice versa. It might be too simple to say they are both short axis strokes but I think that has something to do with it. Another is that both have distinct timing issues and a body motion that undulates vertically. I think backstrokers are rarely good breaststrokers.
