Wondering why everybody doesn't use it?	by Didactylos	2006-09-25 21:45:59
First, it can't sort in-place. That's a big disadvantage for some things. Second, it can't compare arbitrary items using some unspecified comparison function - it is limited to key sorting. Third, it rapidly becomes inefficient for long keys - so it's not good for string sorts, even if you can get past (2). Finally, its best case is the same as the average case. Not particularly useful for sorted or nearly sorted lists. For everything else, it's great.
