I think the general sentiment from the previous pages is that if you look after them well (lube and sweet caresses), WE open bolt guns are about as good as any others out there. Even if you do have problems, gas guns seem to have less voodoo involved in fixing them.
Unless one can't afford it, (seems) everyone with an AEG brings a spare gun to games. Balance that with every game I go to I see guys with gas guns with some minor problems. Unfortunately when everything is made in China/Taiwan to the lowest of tolerances, this stuff is just going to break.
Personally I am slowly trying to make the move to gas. I appreciate the simpler design and takedown. Multiply that appreciation by 10 when you include the visceral experience of effective recoil and sound that makes GBBRs not sound like toys.
