What's wrong with Hufflepuff?

Thanks for the responses.

It might just be me, but I think of a "hard worker" as someone who is 
industrious and with an excellent work ethic, not someone who has to 
work harder at something because he is deficient. The latter is making 
me think the number of times I've written recommendations pointing out 
that someone is a hard-worker wasn't actually doing him a favor....

Anyhow I was thinking about Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, Gryffindors and 
Ravenclaws I've met in real life. Hufflepuffs, Slytherins and 
Ravenclaws are easily found in school and at the workplace. I can sit 
here and categorize people I've known into those categories easily. I 
mean, who hasn't met a back-stabbing Slytherin at work? Or has been in 
a class with a Ravenclaw? Or worked with an industrious Hufflepuff, 
who's work ethic makes your own seem slothful? For most of these 
people I can easily categorize them as Gryffindors too. That's why 
I've always been rather confused as to why Hufflepuff has the "poor" 
reputation when Gryffindor seems to be more of a dumping House than 
Hufflepuff. A smart and courageous student can be sorted into either 
Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, but a simply courageous student probably 
wouldn't be sorted into Ravenclaw.
