and the only real problem is that Comic Sans was made available to anyone and everyone, so it was quickly overused. 99% of the time it's our job to use design elements, color palettes, fonts etc. that are unique, so it's def worth retiring Comic Sans
and of course, outside of the design world, nobody cares if they see Comic Sans or a nicer/newer alternative
we're all neurotic

BUT once i saw a logo of a construction company:
It was big, red and set in Comic sans, with a 3d effect it was printed on a banner and placed on scaffold. 6x3meters...

People will notice the difference even if not consciously.Either way, no excusing comic sans :o)

It's true.
Young children learning how to read can develop better printing skills, when reading printed text that uses comic sans - or a similar font.
The letter formation is similar to that of what they teach children in primary school.
