What are the disadvantages of the lens hood that would make you take it off or fit it on backwards? The way I see it, it just helps. What am I missing?

I only take mine off for cleaning, or to put back on reversed to store the lens, or to put on a circular polarizer. Setting up ('turning') the circular polarizer can often be done with the hood attached, but sometimes requires you to take it off... and if you use a Cokin filter system you either have to buy the special Cokin (square) hood, or do without, the 'standard' hoods wont fit anymore...
I once had a Cokin system for my Canon FD system, with the hood...
...€0.02...
Kindest regards!
