The idea that "it's free, what do you expect? quality?" undermines confidence in both maven and open source in general, and this doesn't do the maven project any favours at all. Open source software is no way immune to criticism just because it is free. Criticism is useful, as it highlights areas where the code is not up to scratch, and shows where developers should be focusing their attention.
