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.

    Ever tried to pass a rec swimmer during lap swim time doing their verison of breastroke?? Super wide kick...swimming head up...not even close to putting it in the water...plodding down the lane in the middle of it... and they get annoyed when you pass them. Breastroke should be in the same league as noodlers = pool space wasters.
