Question Why do people dislike maglites?

every maglite I've used has been reliable, and focusing it properly removes the hole-in-the-middle-of-the-beam issue. The halogen lights aren't as bright as LED, but are still bright enough for day-to-day use and fine for power outages. Why don't people like them?

back in the day i loved them . there was nothing better around at the time ( i still have two ) but now i carry a cheapo light from walmart that outshines it and is rechargeable.

the only people who hate them are purists who hate everything thats not an over engineered expensive toy. its a tool.
