For me Pulse was brutally broken for the longest time. Bit by bit most of the various glitches did get worked out, but the "pain points" of that process did leave me a bit bitter over how Pulse was really kinda "forced" on us long before it was "ready for prime time". Same with systemd, and same with the KDE3⇒KDE4 transition. All pushed too hard for widespread adoption too early in their development, while many of the worst bugs were still commonplace occurrences in daily usage.
