If it keeps newcomers from making mistakes in client choice it looks like a good thing to me?
But is the statement correct? What’s the story behind uTorrent?
Yes. It stopped being good around 2010-2012 depending on who you ask. Unfortunately there are still plenty of old blog posts praising it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9CTorrent
