For every brand name that has ever been stamped on a 'mobile telephone' there have been fierce complaints or rose colored fanboy love.

I see either extreme as a bit of a personality disorder since these outliers are mostly irrational unless you happen to be on their side.

I've never yet found a mobile phone or tablet that is 'perfect' - there has always been a feature or two missing that I've wished to see, or the OS is a little too locked up, or any of a million different minor issues.

Some people latch on to their baggage and don't know how to let go.

I like maemo, it's a pretty nice operating system, I like my N900.

The 'ranting' doesn't actually bother me, what troubles me is that people can't search out and find previous rants that are identical to their own first, so we get a string of similar threads all adding noise to some very good signal.
