Subject: Why do some people write strange reviews

On a server of a computerchess seller I have read something about:
don't buy this program. It is not useful for beginners/learners.

My question is now to those who have Rebel9, do you think that the
database functions are inadequate ?

Please don't name the distributor . I want to discuss about the topic:
Is Rebel9 in the database functions really so needless ?

From my point of viewe the database functions are great.
I have million-base in ONE big rebel-database and copied it onto my
harddisc.
Rebel allows it to search for line, position, material and and and and
it works pretty well. A strong chess-engine allows me to analyse the
games. I don't know why this looks unprofessional or not easy to handle
for beginners.

Please you opinion.

From my point of view all these reviews have one thing in common:
often a program is written worser than it is to make the fame of another
program higher. Of course the distributor sells THESE programs with more
 cash-flow.

So there could be a connection between making A down and prefare selling
B.

How do you handle as a customer or hobbyist these affairs ?
Does this make you angry ?
It makes me angry because I am often in friendship with the programmers.
