In terms of narrative, or mechanics?

The mechanics are why I don't want to divert my rep gains, especially since rank 1 for anything but the Cryptarch gets you nothing but an emblem or two (I'd still like to have a word with whoever decided that was a good idea, you couldn't give me a cloak, or even just two or three emblems?) and rank 2 doesn't give you an upgrade package or weapon access.
The narrative is where I don't like what they stand for. New Monarchy wants to set up a monarchy and get rid of the Consensus, Future War Cult is all doom and gloom and rhetoric that seems to lack substance, and Dead Orbit wants to give up on the Traveler, Earth, and probably the whole solar system. I don't want to be allied to any of them.
Plus they don't have good taste in design IMHO except Dead Orbit and that's only because I like the stark black-and-white look.
I wish more factions had panned out. I'd still like to know what the deal is with Osiris and the Seven Seraphs (hey, that could make good band name...).
