I think it's that it's deliberately harder to read, as if the author is disrespecting their readers. It's hard to tell where sentences start and end, so your inner voice has trouble with the shapes of phrases. Every paragraph looks like it starts in the middle of a sentence, making you constantly think something is broken. When I'm reading something and notice mistakes or unconventional features, I have to slow down and spend more time looking out for obstacles so they don't trip me up.

Back on topic, gentle looks pretty neat, and may be what I need for a project. I just need an efficient way to make transcripts.
