I'll be the odd one here and state that I do use a microwave, though
generally only for reheating leftovers. I don't cook with it because it
doesn't heat evenly and food heated in a microwave doesn't seem to stay
hot as long as food heated some other way. I don't defrost with it for
similar reasons -- I often get one part nearly cooked, and one part still
nearly frozen. A sink full of warm water is a much better way to defrost
something quickly, IMO. But for reheating a plate full of leftovers, the
microwave is hard to beat.

I would be more inclined to think it's the rapid heating itself that's the
problem -- the microwave just exacerbates it by producing hot spots which
heat too much, too quickly.
