I'm using yaourt and am now wondering what is wrong with it, when you actually know of it, and don't want to use it ;)? Is there any flaw so far?
At the time of packer first release (January 2010), yaourt was slow and had some awful code in it. yaourt also made the choice to accept arguments where it add no value (like yaourt -R, only delegating to pacman).
I haven't tested yaourt since. I was using packer and now have switch to pacaur. Both are fine but I find pacaur handling in a better way dependency resolution on AUR packages.

I've used yaourt for a couple of years now. It has always worked for me for the most part, and having a common command for everything is very convenient for me. alias y=yaourt and you have one of the simplest ways to do a complete update of your system, y -Syua I always ignored people's comments because the majority argues that it is "either too slow", or the "code is ugly". These same people would probably be horrified looking through vim's code :P These points alone do not make a very convincing argument for me, which is why I grew numb to them.
