I hear what you are saying and mostly agree. But, at the same time, you have to expect that people will be disappointed when a service they use (albeit a free one) fails when they are used to it working perfectly. I'm not blaming developers here and I for one, am thankful for MEW because its simplicity got me into Eth. But, some complaint here is to be expected.
