Nothing is 100%. No product makes 100% of their users 100% satisfied.
Therefore what you say above can be said about every product in
existence! Therefore you argument, while technically valid, carries
little weight unless you can somehow 1) quantify your claim and 2) show
it's statistically significant.

It is abundant in this newsgroup, and also on the fora on the Intuit
site. Bugs never being fixed, even though they have been reported years
ago. features being removed that are used by customers, and those
features not being added back in when Intuit is told about them, etc.,
etc., etc...
