That was more of the reputation among the A1 variant, produced from 1985 to 1994. The A2 and A3 (the current model) are quite decent bullpup rifles. They're kind of expensive is the only downside I know about.
I also know that the L85A3 is used by British infantry, but British special forces tend to use AR variants like the Colt C8.
