But it is also true that software can be excessively bloated, and excessively resource-intensive, and cause more problems and frustrations for more people than should be expected, when compared to other software of similar functionality and complexity. And even that software may indeed run just swell for many people. That doesn't mean it's unfair to point out and discuss the issues.
Taking epic rivals out of the picture, consider the reputations of Windows ME and Windows Vista vs. the reputations of Windows XP and Windows 7.
