I disagree. I think that's exactly how they're seen and I'm 100% positive that's exactly how Logitech wants them to be seen. They want to sell the Harmony to the guy/gal picking up their first flat screen at Best Buy. They want to be touted as the only universal remote that the average Joe can program (whether that's true or not is another story).

To repeat my position, which I've stated many times on this board: I do not like the Harmony remotes (primarily because of their software), and swear only by the use of discrete codes.
