Can't say I've ever had any real problems with NFS. Performace is
sufficiently good that I don't see it as a problem. Sure, perhaps
other NFS implementations or other protocols may be better, but it's
fast enough for the uses I have for it. It's also very reliable.

By far the biggest problem with NFS, though, is that authentication
is done on the client side, which means if I have root access to a box
that's allowed to mount a filesystem, then I can see every file on that
filesystem. That's not a desirable trait...
