Actually, when I lived in DC, I found it very easy to get around by foot, or by train, to anywere I wanted to go. Unlike many cities, you really can get by without a car (provided you have no desire to drive anywhere out of the city).
In comparison to other cities, I found DC dwellers to be very staid, conservative, and boring in the way they dressed. I found people to be unfriendly. Diversity was lacking (in Northwest DC) compared to the suburbs, and many of the minority people who were there acted like the minority version of white trash. Restuarants are mediocre and overpriced compared to other cities.
I'm sure these are all things we an agree upon. But like I said, the important thing is you can get a can of $3 beer and not have to drive to get there.

I would never live in DC. DC is not NY, London, or any other large urban city where your feet or the train can take you everywhere. I'll stay in the burbs where its nice and quiet. Besides, DC is too expensive for what you get.
