I will agree that their software development process is greatly lacking quality control, having said that I am not sure if that makes their products an "less reliable" then another mfg.
The other mfg. do not add features at such a rapid rate, while they may exercise a much better QC process, but they are not as feature rich.... So this can easily become a frustrating issue, get the feature (hot cake) with the potential of it being half baked... or not have that feature... In our experience Hardware and core feature set wise they are just a reliable as anyone else, it's the leading edge / bleeding edge feature setup that can be frustrating.
