Remember that people who complain are often the vocal minority. I'm not
saying DH is fantastic, I have very little experience with them. I'm
just saying don't discount them just because other people dislike them.
Point taken -- whiners tend to be more vocal than merely satisfied
customers. On the flip side, services which offer bounties to their
customers for recruiting more customers also tend to get an inordinate
amount of favorable plugs.
My personal experience is that if the Rocks:Sucks ratio isn't at least
3:1 and preferably 10:1, one incurs a significant risk of winding up in
the sucks camp. But it's just a lightweight benchmark. If it's an
important decision, it's best to find direct testimony from actual prior
and current users about their experience, understand their situation and
how likely it is to map to your needs.
