I've made over 20 pieces of furniture with them and have had zero issues. Not ideal for large designs since they are only 1/4" but have worked fantastic.
The Diablo line is made by Freud on the exact same machines with the exact same methods. With Freud you pay a great deal more for a harder carbide that lasts longer. With Diablo by Freud you pay considerably less (less than half) for a bit that won't last as long, but will perform very well.
Some may want to invest in the longer lasting bit. Some may wish to save now, invest the savings, and buy better bits with compound interest. Neither way is right or wrong, or worth being dismissive about.

An alternative approach for buying router bits is to get a cheap set like this (which unfortunately contains bits you will rarely use), then replace the ones you use with quality bits as they wear out. That way you don't get caught in a situation where you don't have what you need to finish a project.
Too bad this set doesn't include an ogee bit...

I use that set as well and can confirm that it works well for the casual hobbyist

I almost got fooled into buying them the last time this deal was around... like a month ago.
But thanks for the offer... I'd rather buy 3 of the better ½in shank Freud bits, and the bits I actually need, for $60.
As I said last time... this deal is a trap for new woodworkers, (and people like myself who almost fell for it), out there
