To offer a counterpoint, I switched over to GE and Sylvania LED bulbs a little over a decade ago, and only one has burnt out (the most heavily used one, unsurprisingly). Almost all of my lamps and light fixtures are open, though, and the few closed ones do not get a ton of use -- I've heard that heat build-up in enclosed fixtures can do a number on LED bulbs.
