It's been in a lot of movies and games including SWAT 4, but even the Germans want to replace it with a piston M4.

That is only for the G36 Bundeswehr barrel length. Supposedly that one loses accuracy when firing long bursts. Even so that is probably bureaucracy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. They probably just can't shoot. But the G36C with its super short barrel shouldn't be affected by that. Generally speaking the G36 is a fine weapon and a lot of its design features moved on into the development of the HK416.
The Bundeswehr is replacing its standard G36 rifles with a specific Bundeswehr version of the HK416.

The issued G36s have MANY more issues than that.

Its not very ergonomical, the mags are way too big for what they are, the stocks tend to snap after some years, you wont see a single G36 with its original charging handle (as they just like to break), the giant selector was already mentioned.
And the whole wobbly handguard thing is also a thing many soldiers hate.

Also its balancing point is terrible.

Well, you might be right. I got mine issued in 1997 and I was the first user of that specific rifle.....it might well have broken a few user down the line. But I hit very well with it and I considered it much more ergonomic than the G3 I used in boot camp.

Oh the mags! How did i forget the mags! Won't fit in any mag pouch, ever, without snagging due to those stupid lugs! Its like they held a competition to design the worst magazine and accidentally produced it.
