Sorry, but I've moved some apges around. You may be looking for my article critiqueing the design flaws in ROOT, or maybe the article that tells you how to work around some of the easier ones! Or maybe you'd be interested in the new "ROOT wishlist" page? :)
Yes, ROOT sucks. Speak up: make sure someone with some political clout is aware that centering LHC data analysis on ROOT is a grave error.
