I started with Upwork 10+ years ago (when they were still oDesk) and I never looked back. Best decision ever of my life. I can afford to enjoy my projects, while doing what I love, and I never have the feeling of work, but of playing. The problem with Upwork is initial drawing of clients to build a profile with a good score. Once you did that, you're in the clear. Just like in any other places, there are plenty of bad programmers and plenty of bad customers, and once you identify their style of language you can easily avoid them. Also I insist of always talking to my clients, we use writing as only a mean to an end, not to create endless chats. This way they can asses my English as well. Oh, and I work for only US, Australia or Canada clients. Rest of the countries are a no go for me, most of bad customers are from there. to OP: AMA regarding, I'll be happy to reply
