dc3 stall characteristics

I've read, and been told by a few pilots that the DC3 has very nasty stall characteristics. This apparently is the main reason to "wheel-land" the plane.

What makes the stall so evil in this plane?

Why was it designed that way? I'm guessing comprimises had to be made somewhere.
