I Abandoned IOTA months ago after looking at their Github issues page. https://github.com/iotaledger/wallet/issues

Great idea, just a little too early for massive adoption.

I abandoned it after hearing about the Curl debacle, and trying to abandon it (and selling all of my $100 worth of IOTA) just validated my decision. The wallet couldn't show the right balance unless I "reattached" a bunch of times, and, get this: In order to validate a monetary transaction, the wallet transmit zero-amount "validation" transactions that refer back to the original one, essentially validating itself. Such secure.
Wow! Speaking of trust, unsigned installers [1]?!?
