Unfortunately, these chaps haven't read their Duden Band 1, Die Deutsche
Rechtschreibung. I checked their examples against it and they are quite
in error at times. That makes it notoriously difficult to figure out the
proper from the improper.
So they theoretically could have a good product and asked someone to go
cheap on producing the PDF. Goodness knows, you wouldn't believe how
many PhD's put their names on stuff that their research beetles really
wrote. Still, it reflects poorly and hurts their business.
I'd say that if they don't have their act together, let the free market
sort it out. I can hyphenate all sorts of languages in Ubuntu just fine.
