Everything I have read about agile is that if you do it right, everyone is happy. The customer, the developers, and the managers. Agile itself is supposed to be development-centric.

So they said about all its predecessors, as well. Pretty soon, they start adding "...of course, you must have exceptionally competent people", and then they define 'doing it right' by 'having a successful outcome'.
Take a read at the Agile Manifesto, and I doubt you'll find any point there to criticize.
But then, take a look at any agile methodology, and try to explain how it fits the manifesto. Or better, explain how adopting any "agile methodology" fits the manifesto by itself.
