Why do people hate comic sans?

I often use this font if I want to type something that children might want to copy from because the a looks more like a handwritten one, and because it is without serifs, obviously.



But whenever I do, someone will pop up over my shoulder and say something like "Comic sans!!??!??!? Ewwwww!".



Why the hate?
