The scroll/selection wheel is fiddly as hell, and button placement generally sucks. The newer model ones try to emulate the iPod interface. They even use the same company Apple does to make the touch-scroll strip.
Other problems with the Zen:
Bulky. I did not think this would be so much of a problem when I bought it, but it is really too big to fit comfortably in a pocket on your jeans
Heavy, yet has a hollow, frail sort of feel (I think Genesis controllers used to feel this way)
Battery plate falls off all the time
Battery lifetime (as in you need to replace it because it won't charge)
Does not mount as a standard mass sotrage device
Does not come with a charger cradle (makes it slightly more portable, and annoying as hell to connect)
Pros:
Long battery life
Creative MediaSource is nice when it isn't blowing up
(slight) Does not come with a charger cradle (makes it slightly more portable, and annoying as hell to connect)
Good sound quality
