D J Moo is interviewed about it here.
The NIV has its flaws, but man it reads so well, so much better than the yoda language of the ESV it is.

Mikey, have you tried the Holman?
Only a little, Con, and what I've tried, I like.
Hey Mikey,
Took up an ESV a few years ago I did...took me a little to get used to it, but I do prefer it now. We actually use several translations in bible study, which we find helpful, but I reckon where there are a number of translation options for a particular greek/hebrew work the the ESV guys almost always use a different one to what's in NIV...I'm sure they did it just to be different!!
I have been thinking of giving a bible to a friend at work and I'm pretty sure I'll get her an NIV...much better for someone not used to reading bible at all I think.
Trouble is, the Holman still has sexist language in it...
ESV is not actually English.
