I have a Harmony.  It is set up for all of my devices, and I really 
tried to like it, but the Harmony is consistently less usable for each 
device than the respective native remote.  And there are functions that 
it will not access on some of my gear.  Therefore I don't really use it. 
  After all, what's the point if you still have to (or even want to) 
keep all the native remotes handy?

I wasn't speaking to the wants/needs/experience of 'most users', only my 
own experience, in my home, with my system.

And it doesn't currently include me.  The right piece of gear from Apple 
(AirPlay endpoint with a great DAC) and I might even transcode all of 
those FLACs, but not today.
