Oh I don’t think it remotely is. I just find it irritating that someone sees lots of complaints about the most used thing and takes that as an indication that it’s bad, and ignores the indication that it’s not (it being the most used thing).
Lots of complaints about something popular literally means nothing on its own. The content of those complaints have validity, but there’s nothing to learn from their metadata.
Yes. But if you have many complaints from MANY MANY users, it may not mean anything serious, it could still mean a very small fraction have problems. Absolute number means very little without context. That’s the purpose of the previous comment. Please note how it doesn’t say anything about qualities of Windows.
The percentage of users complaining is the same thing. If your software has 100 users that means 1 complaint, if your software has 1,000,000 users that means 10,000 complaints, for the exact same software.
