I think most will agree that the team at 8Dio is interesting. Some may use different words?
Some people love their libraries, some don't but still use them, and some delete them and take the loss. I suspect the same can be said about almost every sample library developer.
There is also no doubt that Colin and Troels can get the best from their libraries when doing demos. And they are no hacks at epic statements either. Neither of which will impact whether or not a library works for you.
I wish they had a refund policy, but they don't. I've got quite a few of their libraries (too many), and there remain some stand-outs, including all of their little percussion libraries, many of which go back to Tonehammer. I also like the winds, and a couple of the strings libraries. Their intimate strings, brass, and winds libraries are also pretty darned good.
My experience only, YMMV, but I would not stop purchasing from any developer based solely on their personality. That said, I would also never fault someone else from doing so. And in all candor, I do find myself passing on their new releases because I know they will be sharply discounted in the future. In that way I think they cut their own throats, and hope it does not affect other developers badly.
