Mostly, mistakes the creator didn't fucking like to change. This led to offshoots like ido.
Apparently, the language was sexist, the direct object was pretty damn hard to remember, even though it was useless, and so many damn loanwords, even though some words had the same meaning. That, and the
>Le easy to learn language XD
meme, even though fluency takes years to do.
The orthography was pretty shitty. Holy fuck it's ugly. You can't type some at a keyboard, at least without some complicated stuff, and typewriting can't do that shit, before computers were invented.
Also, the vocabulary was basically European so the loanword easy smeezy learny thing didn't apply to those who didn't know any European languages.
Regardless, it is the most spoken constructed language. But it hasn't achieved its goal as a universal language.

To elaborate, the orthography consisted of weird decisions. Like a fucking circumflex over a C.
Of course, rather than typing that, a lot of esperantists just use cx. X replacing whatever bullshit they put in the letter. What's the point of even adding that if you can't type it easily?
And the u with that downward curve. Just use a fucking w.

This is the main problem desu. Esperanto looks like some kind of demented Slavo-Romance language. But instead of being based on vulgar latin, it's based on Portuguese or something even worse (if such a thing were even possible. Perhaps a hypothetical Vandal-Romance language?).
Then, all these Slavo-Portugese got together and they shit Esperanto out. It's truly a fucking hideous creation. Latin Sine Inflexione is superior.

Solution to a problem that never existed.
