Following from the sidelines I feel like there are similar comments made about all brands, both the "X has gone down hill" and "all my contractor friends use Y". I wouldn't put too much weight on such anecdotes.

I know this is anecdotal, but I would agree. I used to work in an auto shop, and we had lots od Dewalt drills & impact drivers. The older ones were typically fine after falling off a lift onto a concrete floor, but out of the new tools 2 drills and 1 impact driver were junk after the first fall. We just ended up buying adapters to use the new batteries with the old tools.
