I think there is an S-curve argument in here somewhere. There was a time where putting in an electric stove was just asking for trouble because of the reliability, but there were early adopters who were excited about the idea. Fortunately, those guys shook out the bugs for the generations that followed.
Ultimately though, I'm probably in the same part of the S-curve as you. I spend much of my day doing
(hacking | improving | debugging) (code | business | people | self)
so adding another layer sounds like a PITA, but if you're an early adopter, my hat is off to you and I send my thanks for shaking out the bugs for the rest of us!

So I spent money on getting one of the better ones because I didn't want any problems. It's been broken and needed a repairman to show up twice since purchase.
