As someone who was actually around during the Monaco transition AND and admin at a very high traffic wiki, we didn't hate monaco, we hated how much the ads were going to impinge on the content space and how Wikia basically lied about several aspects of ad placement and size. Most of the rest of Monaco was either liked or meh.

So let's be clear about history as we go forward.
