Yesterday was the first time this year I was able to open pages from youtube on the first try instead of over a 20 - 40 minute process of refreshing, resetting wifi, resetting router etc trying to get complete page loads with playing video. I had entire days where Skype text messages was the only internet access I had. Apple's forums have ten thousands of posts on people's wifi being ruined like this for this entire year and counting.

Without a doubt, some people have issues, but I don't think you can gage the overall reliability of a product based solely on a support forum. No one is going there just to post that their system is running properly.

If it is some percent unreliable the other percent doesn't change that. It's not just OS X, it's also iOS, Maps, iCloud etc, some of this stuff was famously bad. There's been a lot of discussion about this recently with many notable Apple enthusiasts chiming in - https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+software+quality.
