Well, I guess it's a matter of taste wether you like the show or not, but saying that the characters were bad is simply untrue.
Sisko - While not the best character in Trek, he is more realistic then about 99% of all other characters. He shows actual Human traits like anger, grief, love and much more. he is without a doubt one of the most realistic Humans (
) on the show.
Worf - well, whats to say. He and Martok are the only klingons i like 
Garak - Simply *THE BEST* character ever to appear in any trek show ever.
Quark - The first decently played Ferengi.
Odo - Well, whats to say. his character development was pretty much very good. Not to mention his personal story arc.
Dax - Pretty well portrait character if you ask me. The whole 7 lifetimes was well done. though she was still one of the least liked characters IMHO.
Weyoun - C'mon! The guy did a perfect job here. All kinds of different Weyouns and perfectly played with slight differences in character.
Also, plot holes? What plot holes?

I ment MAIN charachters...
Of course Quark and Garak are interesting!
And Worf? I like his charachter, but he is a TNG tag-a-long. They took his char from TNG and put him trough the same orderals as before (loosing a women he loves, loosing and regaining honour...). I just call that bad writing to re-use the charachter tht way..
Sisko...hem..He was showing a bit too much anger and was acting too wild to make a belivable captain. Starfleet Command would never tolerate behaviour like that.. I mean, he poisioned the whole planet full of women and children for Christs' sake!
Dax, Odo - not bad, alltough I hated the idea of shpachangers and simbionts in teh stomach. they don't make much sense.

Don't get me wrong, DS9 had some good charachters, but there were too few of them, and the plot holes were terrible and there were too many to count....
I can name a few if you realyl insist, but even if you somehow manage to disprove them all (and you won't), that's just the tip of the iceberg...
