I once had a brand spanking new Rock River Arms standard length A2 AR that I bought for around $1000. It ran well, and shot well. I used Pmags, cleaned it after every range trip, and probably only put about 500 rounds through it.
I sold it at a fairly significant loss, and kept the Mini 14 Ranch rifle I already owned (which I bought for $750), because I decided the Mini seemed a far more simplistic and reliable design. Though this thread isn't an AR vs Mini 14 thread, that's just my personal comparison based on my experiences.
In case this is new to anyone, here's an article from a former Green Beret, explain why he doesn't like them either:

Tell me what you think of the points laid out in the article. It makes plenty of sense to me, but my experience is limited.
