I would agree they are passable, but they have broken sFlow support (e.g., not supported on LAGs, though this is documented nowhere, sFlow generates invalid data when it does work, stack management is not even close to appropriate for production environments, almost any change requires a full stack reset, and stack member flash storage failures are way too common).  That said, at least they try with sFlow, just wish they would get it working.
