I love roundabouts but they're not perfect either. More so due to human error than anything, but..
I have to use one often when I'm travelling near work and some people just don't get it. Inevitably, you're going to have some people that are trying to enter the roundabout thinking they have the right-of-way so they don't yield and damn near get t-boned. Then you have the people that are in the roundabout that think the people trying to enter have the right-of-way so you create a small traffic jam because the movement inside of roundabout has stopped.
Probably the biggest issue, though, is that most people don't come to a full stop and either just want to get where they're going quickly or want to beat the oncoming traffic inside the roundabout, so they're so busy looking to the left that they never bother to look to their right (since they know traffic won't come from that direction). That creates a problem if there are pedestrians looking to cross while someone blows through the outlet into the roundabout.
Nothing is perfect though. Just speaking about my perception.
