Terrible programmers often get defeated by Prolog. If you can't bend Prolog, don't blame prolog, blame yourself. :D

I like Prolog, I just think that trying to use it as a traditional programming language for an average task is like using a sponge to bail water out of a boat - you can do it, but it is hardly the most effective tool. :) That said, there are very specific problem domains in which Prolog excels.
