I am a professional graphic designer and I get a lot of requests to use Papyrus font. On a personal note, I am not really bothered by it. Did you have a bad experience with Papyrus? Did it hit you over the head and steal your purse?
Haha, yeah I'm just bothered by it because it's everywhere. It's a dumb snobby thing on my part, like if people say they don't like a certain band or song because they're "everywhere" or too mainstream. I wrote about it here too. http://www.stuffchristianculturelikes.com/2009/01/59-papyrus-font.html
Some people just don't understand fonts. Our IT guy told me he was designing something for a woman's accounting business and she chose COMIC SANS SERIF! He had to talk her out of it, but it wasn't easy.

I hope he plays guitar and writes music better than does graphic design.
