It's been getting better lately.
That's the thing with these kinds of projects that aim to run vast libraries of preexisting software — they're crap for a long, long time, until suddenly there's enough compatibility that hey, it's actually usable. The time vs usability graph for them is very non-linear.
Wine was "garbage" for decades as well. For a long time, it wouldn't do a satisfactory job of running anything but simplest win32 apps.
Same for Ruffle, the open source flash player, but it got to that point much quicker because the API surface is orders of magnitude smaller.
