End users HATE PDF.  Why?

It takes so long for the reader to load.

It is so slow on older machines to render and scroll.

My complaint with it is it is Adobe proprietary. This make the tools
very expensive. 

I like PDF because:

1. documents have to be prepared before posting. This means you don't
have malformed syntax in them.

2. You can reasonably quickly turn computer printouts or paper
documents into web content.

3. You don't have to guess what the end user will see.
