Although one need not support a 3D product that they don't care for,
it also doesn't help to declare the product a terrible one just because
it doesn't fit one's own needs.  It'd be like me saying that women's
skirts are the dumbest most useless product around -- just because I'm
male and don't wear them.  Others may find them useful.

Suggestions as to what "should have been done" in a product are great
and healthy when both taken and given as suggestions to improve a product
(for one's own purposes or wants).  It only becomes unhealthy when suggestions
are taken or given with an assumption that one's own wants in a product are
the only legitimate design criteria.    I don't think anyone has really 
been doing this, so I think any perception of  negativity is probably 
exaggerated.  Lack of bubbling enthusiasm really isn't negativity -- it's 
"indifference".   Or shyness.  I believe that the vast majority of 
members on this list don't post at all.  :-)

Jumping off the soapbox....
