The reasons behind this are (at least) threefold: i) one might lack a proper variational principle for excited-state energies and one may have to rely on response theory \cite{Monkhorst_1977,Helgaker_1989,Koch_1990,Koch_1990b,Christiansen_1995b,Christiansen_1998b,Hattig_2003,Kallay_2004,Hattig_2005c} formalisms which inherently introduce a - ground-state ``bias'', iii) accurately modeling the electronic structure of excited states usually requires larger one-electron basis sets (including diffuse functions most of the times) than their + ground-state ``bias'', ii) accurately modeling the electronic structure of excited states usually requires larger one-electron basis sets (including diffuse functions most of the times) than their ground-state counterpart, and iii) excited states can be governed by different amounts of dynamic/static correlations, present very different physical natures ($\pi \to \pis$, $n \to \pis$, charge transfer, double excitation, valence, Rydberg, singlet, doublet, triplet, etc), yet be very close in energy from one another. Hence, designing excited-state methods able to tackle simultaneously and on an equal footing all these types of excited states at an affordable cost remain an open challenge in theoretical computational chemistry as evidenced by the large number of review
