Why the hate for Target Date Funds?

I've had several comments against Target Date Funds. Are they really less effective than having a US stock ETF, a world stock ETF and a broad bond market ETF? If so, why and by how much % growth per year?

For me, answers specific to taxable and tax-deferred accounts would both be of interest.
