For me, the experience of "getting a life" has been sort of like being duped by crappy infomercial products. I get excited by the prospect of the thing, but it turns out that it simply does not work as advertised. The manual is poorly translated from an original that was poorly written to begin with, and the customer support reps seemingly can't do anything except search a knowledge base that doesn't mention the problems I'm having. I can technically make it "work" with a considerable amount of effort, but the results are always underwhelming, it never gets any easier, and I get nowhere near a point where I feel like this thing is worth the hassle before I decide to just shelve it.
