If the standard trigger is crunchy-ticky, I would agree. But with a little effort, the standard trigger can be changed up and smoothed out. After disassembling and cleaning the trigger, apply grease and reassemble. Then, use the forefinger and thumb to place a little upward pressure on the hammer as you dry fire. Just a little pressure. You don't want to round off the sears or chip the corners. This will smooth out the pull tremendously.
I think most shooters should smooth out the trigger their AR comes with and shoot enough to get an understanding of safety features of the trigger before replacing it. Most shooters don't realize the long sear engagement of the standard and two stage triggers is there to prevent unintended discharges from rough handling and doubling and tripling.
A good quality trigger has a smooth, predictable pull. A trigger can have a short, crisp, light break and not be a quality trigger. Once a standard AR trigger is smoothed out, the pull has long creep, but it's feel is always the same and does not stack. It also has the added bonus of being drop same, a feature that's particularly important on a self loading rifle. Once smoothed out, the standard trigger is a quality trigger.
What many think of as a "quality" the -light, short, crisp break- isn't always the best trigger for the job. A shooter won't know what trigger to get until they put rounds down range. I've got standard AR triggers that are perfect for the job I use use them for and it would be a waste of money to replace them with something else.
I'm all for quality triggers with clean, crisp breaks, but I bought them because they are what I wanted, not because I need them to shoot an AR or to develop a good trigger finger.
