We could do a survey if you want, but... I'll bet that nobody here bought a DS1054Z thinking they were getting a 50MHz 'scope with basic triggering, 12Mb RAM no serial decoders.
Actually it would be interesting to make a poll like:
*I actually use serial decoding and advanced triggers
*Measure signals with more than 50 MHz frequency
*Measure more than 50 MHz + use serial decoding
*I hacked my scope but would rather trade hacked frequency and decoding for absence of bugs
*have the scope but didn't hack it
Then it would be obvious if people buy it because because hackability is actually useful for them of just because it is there. Or more like self delusion and choosing this model and accepting the bugs because of the hackable features they actually don't need at all. While according to the real world use, they'd better goo for 50 MHz non hackable scope without tons of bugs which don't get fixed in the timely manner if will be fixed at all.
