Foremost, of course, advertisers do abuse them.
However, there are plenty of other problems with popups, as they're
implemented by browsers. We're used to new windows in desktop GUIs, but
popups don't behave the same way - they're not modal (typically), they're
easily lost behind the main window with one errant click. Layers are a much
better way to do the same thing, usually, I think.
