Most of the folks I know who hate standard ms fonts--and the reaction was stronger when Courier was the only acceptable option--couldn't seem to get past the fact that the ms looks so bad to them in that font. When how it looks to them doesn't matter--it's whether it looks OK to the person reading it.
But then, I never really minded Courier. It'd be a dreadful book font, but an ms isn't a book, and those couple years typing before I discovered word processing (and finished a college paper before midnight, and never looked back!) were just enough to make it something I could deal with looking at.
