Considering the amount of change that software can undergo in ten
years and how different the net was ten years ago, I find that to be
somewhat poor reasoning. There are a lot of better reasons to hate
sendmail :)
I'm still annoyed, for instance, that sendmail changed it's
makemap -f hash output without warning (broke my squid redirector
until I figured out what happened).
I still use it, though, perhaps out of inertia. I think I simply
got used to it after a while, and I haven't seen any indication that
recent versions of sendmail are any less secure than recent versions
of exim/qmail/smail/whatever.
If you have such evidence, feel free to let us know about it.
