Lansing Michigan is not that bad, but its not all that great either. It is the stereotypical dull midwestern small city. Grand Rapids would have made a much better state capitol, the city is more attractive and more interesting.
I can't exactly disagree since I haven't been there, but all of the photos I've seen of Frankfort has seemed lovely and charming. It is one of the state capitals that was actually founded and planned as a state capital.
What's cool about Charleston? I've driven through there many times and never had the temptation to stop.
I can say that about a bunch of cool cities that aren't particularly exciting when you look from the interstate. Savannah and Asheville come to mind immediately.

It's spread out, sprawling, and poorly kept. If the residents took care of their properties and the county did something to clean up and run off all the trash, it may look more appealing.

Columbia is the only other city that I know that qualifies. What are some others?
But they seem the exception rather than the rule to me. MOst state capitals I've seen are like what happened here?
Maybe most of the kinds of jobs in state capitals require maturity and experience, and capitals are mainly inhabited by grown-ups, who don't mean the bar scene or the music scene when they say "what's happening here".
Raleigh was founded as a state capital. You should know that one!
I had a blond moment, LOL. I remembered that shortly after I typed it but didn't get a chance to go back and edit the post.
