I never understand the "so bad" part about a free directory with so many links that back ends Google. For what it costs vs what it produces it's a great thing.

I've found that most people who complain about DMOZ are those who are too lazy to read the submission rules. They get irritated because editors don't add their site where they think it should go or because it takes a couple of months to get feedback. Yeah it has it's flaws but hey it's powered by people and people are flawed.

A new and improved competitor doesn't arise because it's not that easy to rally a large group of volunteers to produce a huge categorized database then maintain it.
