for me, the biggest problem with people who are concerned about "usability" is, that they often tend to know best what is "usable" while ignoring my comments as being nerdish tech talk, not relevant to such discussion, but cynical at best. of course this hurts my ego.
The biggest problem with usability is that it's a particularly subjective aspect of software. One man's sidekick is another man's hurdle; one man's clarity is another man's confusion.
In practice it tends to become political, polarized between two types of people: power users versus casual users... or other similar axes of dissention.
