Bitching about fluent

Joel

I know that this may start a bit of a riot but here we go anyway: From looking around this forum for a fair few months now i have discovered one thing, no one likes fluent (fluent employees aside). Could someone in one distinct answer tell me why no one likes it. The pre-processor seems reasonably well liked (see discussion a few lines down) so what is wrong with the solver and the post processor? I am using Star at the mo and am getting on with it well but would like to know where star falls down and where other codes are better (CFX, Phoenics etc etc) and if star is considered more highly than fluent. I know this is dangerous but hey, should be interesting! P.S. Please no fluent/star/cfx/phoenics employees blowing their own trumpets please, i would like impartial views from users not sales men.
