This is a very silly statement. Unsigned integers do not suck, they are
extremely valuable and important. When used appropriately. When you want
modular arithmetic, or a collection of bits, you want to use unsigned
integers.

But when you want an integer that should not be negative, the useful
properties of unsigned integer types are not appropriate.

It doesn't help anybody to make sweeping over-general statements that they
"suck".
