Why does breaststroke get a bad rap?

Other than it being "slow", what is with all the breaststroke haters? Just curious because I happen to think it's a beautifully powerful stroke.

    Only breaststrokers have a wrongly placed superior attitude. They just think they look good in the water. Their finish is only complete with their first stroke underwater. They then think a good finish is somewhere near their shoulders. If I bent my knees that much and finished at my shoulders swimming crawl, every one would say that is not a streamlined stroke. We know how bad the kick they use is it almost the same as the illegal kick that butterfroggers use. It is allowed for the old foggy flyers eg; allowed for senior citizen flyers because these old guys cannot do a dolphin kick.
