I recently began using Star-San (3-4 batches ago). The first thing I dislike is the foam. It makes bottling a bit more of a pain in the butt, trying to keep things from running over. Second it's caustic. I burned the tan off my hands (yes, I have a tan - I live in SoCal) a few weeks ago when I brewed and bottled in the same week (different batches). Idophor doesn't cause these problems. Yes, it stains everything brown, but it won't burn a hole into the center of the earth while you're not looking.
