It's hard to get the rainfly taut. If you do manage to get it taut, this puts a lot of strain on the tent body which makes the door zippers difficult to operate.
The cloth tie-down points wick rain through the rainfly and the seam taping pulls lose in that area, so in heavy rains water can get in and drip drip drip right on your forehead! This has happened at two of the four tie-down points on my tent.
The mesh fabric rips easily.
The velcro tabs on the rainfly zipper covers are annoying and probably not necessary.
Sometimes the little plastic hook that is supposed to hold the bottom of the rainfly zipper together gets hooked on the edge of the rainfly or one of the guylines when flipped open.
The tent floor is very lightweight fabric, so I have some durability concerns. I use a footprint to extend the life somewhat.
Obviously this isn't a 4-season tent, so the fact that snow/sand can blow up under the fly and through the mesh is not unexpected.
All that said, this is a great tent.
Edit: I recently exchanged my ~2001 version of the REI Half Dome Plus Two for the 2005 version. Here is my impression of the changes: No annoying plastic hooks at the bottom of the fly zippers. Smaller gear loft. Different door shape that makes opening/closing more smooth, but also makes getting in/out more difficult. I think maybe the door opening is higher now? New fly color (better) with smaller logo (good), but now there are TWO logos (annoying). Color coded fly and tent body pole end attachment points allow for quick, proper orientation. The clips that attach the tent body to the poles are different. I liked the older ones better.
