If Comic Sans was a dating profile question, I'd answer "I hate it but laugh about it." I think it looks awful. While I want to judge people for using it (in professional and technical documents), I remind myself that poor choice of font doesn't change the quality of the content.

A coworker, now retired, was the customer rep between us and another utility. Our combined assets are in the billions of dollars, with them the larger company. His default font was Comic Sans.
