"(3) They would usually default to bridge mode, and saturate the local DHCP 
pool" 

Is this because you're not IPing your network properly? Usually this only 
happens if you're handing client RFC1918 addresses in which case bridging is 
appropriate behavior for the router. 

The rest I'd say are valid complaints.

The biggest issues for me was that (1) they were constantly changing the UI of 
their proprietary "airport admin" tool, (2) The Windows version was always a 
few revs behind (or would not work), (3) They would usually default to bridge 
mode, and saturate the local DHCP pool, (4) would not allow simple adjustments 
to channel frequencies, (5) their admin tool was proprietary, and not just a 
simple web server. 


There are probably another half dozen or so issues that I'm not recalling now.

I know some WISP's beef with them was because the WISP wasn't properly IPing 
their network. What other concerns are there?

Finally! There routers have caused more than their fair share of support 
calls. I say good riddance.
