What exactly is wrong with it? Some software which uses LaTeX for
displaying math uses this, and when I suggested to the developers that
they might change to \[ \], they actually wanted reasons. The nerve!

Anyway, please educate me, and I will pass on what I learn.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
