It might simply be that some people have an unusual set of requirements or settings that make them prone to firmware glitches.
My own experience with my kobo is that when they've messed something up in the firmware again I can usually find some stable settings I can live with, and then I don't update it again unless I have to (which used to be when I ran the kobo desktop application; something I've stopped doing), or unless there's a really important improvement. Some irritations will remain, such as the handling of widows and orphans*, but I will put up with them.
My experience with my Nook is that it works pretty well, except when it suddenly doesn't like a book. In which case I use the Kobo.
My experience with my Kindle that I've barely had an issue with it, and it's the reader I use the most. I think I confused it slightly once by updating a book that was in a collection, or something.
*I have no idea how recent my firmware is.
