Everyone else mostly gets along together. Obviously no one likes their
competition. Every few years one of Cogent's peers de-peers them, causing a
big ruckus.
You can see what's going on via NANOG and ISP-Bandwidth. Lately the opinion
is that a few years ago Cogent wasn't worth their cheap price due to quality
issues. I'd say th e past year or two things seem to have turned around...
other than Level(3) depeering them a couple years ago.

Widely known "where" Matt?
I'd like to know how you guys get the pulse of what everyone is thinking.
As for being the red headed step child nobody likes Mike, Do you think
they actually "like" each other, especially one as aggressive as Cogent
who is making the others drop their pricing?

Is anyone using Cogent as a bandwidth provider? Pros and cons?
Cogent is awful and widely known for it. Nevertheless, the do have an
important place in the industry. If you use them for an upstream make
sure you have another one and understand enough about BGP to get around
the traffic engineering they do.
