i think we have to make a difference between "substandard" and "100%
perfect" products...
there are *no* 100% perfect products...there are always things that could be
done better/different....but this doesn't mean a product is "substandard".
imho for the last 3 or 4 years there aren't released any bad musical
instruments anymore....so we get spoiled....if you compare the power and
possibilities you buy right now to what you could buy 6 years ago there is
so much difference....and the more possibilities, the more change that there
are some bugs/strange things that could have been different/better....
so i think we all should be happy with the gear we buy and make the best use
of it, and give positive feedback to the manufacturers (if they're
listening, but they have to, because the customers make or break them) to
come up with even better products in the future...
