Disagree, I think this backfires when you hear only positive praise for some software, mainly because it's Open Source, etc - then the experience is really lacking. I think it sets expectations too high.

Lots of paid stuff sucks, but marketing money convinces the masses to use it. The request is that you at the very least don't help the powerful marketing budgets.
