This kind of thing happens very often. For example, once Norton
Utilities for Mac was the netters' choice of disk utility. People said
DiskExpress II is dangerous. And now people are bashing Norton in
info-mac digest. 

As far as I know, the only application that is consistently being
bashed is Microsoft Word :)

So don't rely on the net consensus too much. The net is a good place
to hear user's real voice. But sometimes a few enthusiasts' voices 
can dominate or control the net consensus.
