Helvetica I Hate Your Face

When it comes to "love it or hate it" one typeface seems to always find itself at the front lines. It's used, its abused, its Helvetica.

If someone would punch someone in the nose over a typeface, Helvetica would probably be the topic of conversation. Well, that or Papyrus. Nevertheless the war has waged for years. So what are the points of attack? Helvetica is corporate scum. It is the most usable, readable typeface. And so on and so on. The game is two fold. Why do you think people hate or love Helvetica? And if you had to grab a sword and jump into the battle yourselves what would your argument be for Helvetica's lack luster or greatness?
