A little harsh.
I think Pentax users are perhaps a little vocal because they arrived at the brand either through legacy or through research.
That would make them, in general, perhaps more experienced and more critical than, say, a Rebel buyer.
I'm on my second K-x (through no fault of Pentax) and while I pay more to moor my boat in a marina each month than it costs to buy a K5 body, I really see no reason to upgrade. It's that good. Now, a FF would send my LBA nuts! I was shooting my Z-p1 today and that viewfinder is reason alone to upgrade.
