It doesn't suck "now". It sucked when fedora and arch switched to it. I mean it of course wasn't complete garbage but it had a lot of bugs and people generally don't like to be used as red hat's guinea pigs.
When red hat switched to it, it was stable enough. Before then people were complaining because they did find bugs and issues (I know I did) and were being told to STFU by inexperienced users who have the most basic and standard use case and weren't encountering the issues (or were but didn't even notice).
Very common is the case of some person who sometimes uses linux on their machine telling a system administrator who has thousands of machines under his responsibility what's what.

I'm not sure that's a good argument because it goes both ways. Sure, times have moved on but having dozens or hundreds of machines is now nothing compared to thousands, but at some point it was - and people have experienced it then. And even without the number, I'm not really sure it's a good thing to count professional users (who often have access to support and resources) more than hobby users.
