I have worked with sendmail for a long time, and have made consulting money helping companies to configure their sendmail systems. But "like" and "trust" are words I'd never use together with sendmail. Even after having worked with sendmail for a long time, I found qmail considerably easier to get started with (and easier to configure in general). If Postfix can help us get away from sendmail as the default, I'd say it's definitely a good thing. But I fear this discussion is going in the religious direction...
