minsc is too high maintenance. his stats are irrelevant because there are so many stat-boosting items, especially in his most touted area, STR.
he can't help in fights vs mind flayers because he's so stupid.
the shield of harmony argument is crap because it nullifies both of his fighting specialties: 2h swords and dual-wielding.
his special berserk ability is far more of a liability unless the rest of the party is half a mile away. and if he makes aerie his witch, you better make damn sure she never gets too hurt or he could wipe the entire party out.
he's a goober. all that rah-rah we're-the-good-guys junk gets old after a few seconds.
he's incompetent. he couldn't protect his first witch dynaheir (well, according to the bg2 story). now he wants to "help" you. no thanks.

yes, his dialogs are some of the funniest around ("boo likes parrots. they could rassle!" LOL) but that's not enough after you've played through with him once.
