    Oh I don’t think it remotely is. I just find it irritating that someone sees lots of complaints about the most used thing and takes that as an indication that it’s bad, and ignores the indication that it’s not (it being the most used thing).

    Lots of complaints about something popular literally means nothing on its own. The content of those complaints have validity, but there’s nothing to learn from their metadata.

      Actually lots of complaints has meaning. It means lots of people have problems with it. It doesn’t mean anything else but this.
