Perhaps some people dislike mountains for the units that they prefer. They could also dislike mountains because there's more iron then stone, or vice versa.

to defend against sieging trueshot army whit their cracked up stats you mean? send a heavy, and i mean HEAVY ( at least twice as many) T2 infantry army out...whit the right commander you should be able to deal whit that issue. ... best would be to guess the square were the siege camp is going to and send your bow people there to wait for the camp...yer die, but it will be easier to wipe the camp out whit the above mentioned Infantry

Mountains THEMSELVES are okay to settle on, in fiact they're the best thing to move onto, but sieges from mountains are much harder to destroy then sieges from, say, forests. (Infantry has a breeze taking archers out of forests, it's the other way around with mountains)
As a clairification on the nature of siege, a siege attacks from a square neighboring your city, not from the square your city is on.

Ideally a city on mountains surrounded by plains would be great in terms of defense.
