What comes to mind right away:

1 - Unable to recognize the true value of incoming links from real authority site

2 - Hand code most competitive serp and is unable to provide uality results otherwise

3 - Can't f.... crawl correctly some domains for YEARS while competitors can

4 - Penalize websites based on false assumption very often (Explanation: very stupidly if you will there is little way to compensate a penalty)

5 - SERP / Index is not refreshed frequently enough - Their bot seems to eat ton of data but it doesn't reflect on SERP which is therefore a waste of our bandwidth ...and theirs Yahoo takes forever to get a simple website right

6 - The most easy to manipulate search engine + does give a damn about user feedback!

Overall: Unless they humanly review the SERP then they can not provide quality results most of the time - IMO Yahoo is using a technology / Algorigthm from another time, they are based on false assumptions and poor understanding of what the internet search is really about now, though they have money to buy what others have created before them they should not be a threat for the future Google - MSN search for long (unfortunately)
