Occulus has sucked ever since Facebook got their hands on it

I've worked with Oculus since the DK1. The reasons I think you're wrong are because pre-Facebook Oculus had:
* No Touch controls or Motion Sensors for position tracking
* Lower fidelty gyroscope
* 720p Screens
* 60FPS Targets (instead of the much better 90FPS)
* Extremely uncomfortable headset design
And there were significant issues in the SDK that have since been resolved. The cash injection from Facebook has given them a huge boost to correct all those issues and now the device is actually able to compete with the Vive, barring the price difference.

Holy crap, this is quite possibly the nicest "Here's why I think you're wrong" post from McJob I've ever seen.
