I tried to like Trangias, I really did. Tired of the poor performance of gas stoves at low temps and tired of lugging a multifuel stove around, I weakened and bought a Trangia. After my first failed attempt to boil enough water for a brew I sold the stove. It was no lighter than than the multifuel and no better than a frozen gas stove, it possessed the worst properties of the other stoves. I've now gone back to a Primus Spider for 3-season use and MSR stove for winter use.
Other things to hate about the stove include
Size
Cost
Invisible flame
lighting difficulties
fuel cost
sanctimonious Trangia fanboys
