What's wrong with Copperplate?!

Personally, I have always enjoyed Copperplate. Am I so wrong? So misguided?

I like that thread a lot. It sums up an overly used typeface really nicely. It’s a good example of a typeface with a lot of heritage that shouldn’t be thrown around. It takes a delicate hand (restraint!) to use.

Anybody know who did the Copperplate refresh for Rembrandt?
