Why NOT to Use the USPTO's EFS Patent Filing System

"Simply put, the system is too complicated, even for a computer geek like me. I beleive the current system is doomed to be one that is tried, occasionally, by early adopters and curiosity-seekers. It will not enjoy widespread use by the patent bar, and the experimentation rate will dwindle over time as the experimenters, like me, become more and more frustrated with the system." --J. Matthew Buchanan via his Promote the Progress blog.
