I see two different polarizations on E:S. One polarization is folks who want dependable transportation and find an off-the-shelf 30mph system meets their needs. The other polarization is folks who want bragging rights on the fastest bike they can build, even if it means they spend more time under the bike than on it. I think most of us have a foot in each camp, but what side do you lean more towards?
The efforts of hot-rodder's help reliability by demonstrating where the breaking point is on cheap chinese hardware, fixing it, and then finding the breaking point of the next weakest component.
On the other hand, it is pretty challanging to build something within the limits of the components involved so that will run all day, every day; anticipating failures, and building a comfortable interface.
