I happen to like Mac's myself and I will continue to use them until their negatives outweigh the positives for me in doing so. No issues in any dealings I have had with them so far, so no moans and groans from me about anything negative to speak of. It is a balancing act in comparing one vendor vs another for sales, service, pricing or shipping.

Not everyone has the same exact experiences with any of them and there is a big difference between liking a business because it meets your own needs vs disliking them because they don't operate just as you would have them do or that the new owners are not as good as the old ones. That doesn't mean one can't complain with legitimate gripes over service or costs and such, but everyone reading such gripes really has to take such with a grain of salt, as not everyone else will have the same view and the reality is often sort of somewhere between the views discussed.

Any loss to the hobby is a loss, regardless. I hope they have continuing success so that the hobby itself doesn't suffer any loss at all.
