What's wrong with cotton canvas?

What's wrong with cotton canvas, by the way? I've been ignoring the fact that most accomplished and well-collected painters use linen. But I thought I'd better ask. Is that because linen does not deteriorate as fast? I heard that linen sags more than cotton, though, and doesn't have the tautness to bear vigorous paint application.
