Bashing miggle boards

Okay...been reading a lot of old and current threads about boards. Do Miggle boards really suck THAT bad or am I detecting a little elitism regarding this? I guess I would compare this with buying a camera....never ask a professional photographer what camera to buy. You'll end up paying several thousand dollars on camera, light filters, tripod, rapid exposure, etc. when you could have gotten a NICE $150 camera to take perfectly good snap shots of your family and your ebay crap! I'm just asking in all seriousness, because I'm wondering how they're still in business if this is the case. I mean, they hold a convention every year using those boards and I'm assuming people have a good time with it. Thoughts?
