I'm not going to deny that Federal loans are better than private, but I've seen people on here mention that private loans were a pain to deal with. Why?

If I read and understand the terms clearly, and I'm going into a field where I shouldn't have a problem keeping up with loan repayment, could it be that bad? Am I not seeing something?
