"love" in the sense of someone loving their snaggletooth mutt. What's remarkable to me is despite the obviously terrible idea at the core of it, it seems to work pretty well for some practical use. (IIRC it was at the core of GNU Java as well, and I could have sworn the earliest Sun JVMs used it.) I don't doubt it caused all sorts of problems too. It's just an interesting reminder that sometimes a really wacky hack can be pretty useful.
