No, the FBI is not incompetent.
Anonymous/Lulz was/is the biggest hacking group ever. They were hacking businesses, law enforcement, media, websites of the US Congress and the CIA (just to name a few).
I really doubt that one could describe a plausible ranking system of law enforcement priorities that wouldn't direct real resources at Anon/Lulz in 2011.

On the other hand, it could turn out to have been valuable practice in the event China gets really serious about cyber attacks.
Besides, I would guess there's a rather limited amount of work the FBI's cyber crime unit can do to help bring in mobsters.
Our law enforcement organizations spend years and millions of dollars to infiltrate, track down, and bring to justice criminals. Who do they target? Organized crime? Hostile foreign nations? Fraudsters? Nope, they go after lulzsec and IP "pirates". I don't have a ton of sympathy for either lulzsec or kim dotcom but I can't help but feel that the FBI et al are screwing the pooch here and arresting the moral equivalent of pot dealers while the true terrorists and mobsters go free.
