I'll have to start by saying that they aren't my favourite pen. On the other hand, they are the most long lasting "good" pen in my life. They're durable in every fashion, they tend to write well, they tend to have a long life. They're decent to hold.
On the downside, if you *can* get them to break they shatter impressively. But its not the case that they are dangerous, and they don't break often. I also really prefer clicky pens to the ones with caps, but their caps are strong, sensible, and do stay well on the back. They don't break the boundaries of good taste, even if they're not "cool." They don't leak. They're a good learning pen for younger children.
I have little that is bad and much that is good to say about them, I always own a few... but they aren't quite my favourites, either, and it shows. Still, in this pen obsessed world their importance is keen, and Bic have a very reasonable reputation to boot. For a generalist ballpoint pen, they really are the best in their field, whatever my personal preferences!
