It currently receives 4/5 stars based on 569 reviews, so it's fair to say that people like it.
I browsed over the reviews and there's nothing there to suggest that many people are returning it because it's a Chromebook.
This answers most of your questions and does so using data based on a large dataset.

If you are concerned about reliability I suggest using an Intel SSD. Their failure rate is very low.
I started using the 64-bit version because the 32-bit version frequently hits 4GB of memory usage and crashes. I've seen the 64-bit version over 16GB on my 32GB system. This is a problem that Chrome does not have, but Firefox has some extensions I really like that Chrome lacks. As long as I can continue using the 64-bit nightly that I'm currently using I guess I won't really care, but this seems rather short-sighted.
Algae is plural, while alga is singular. If you wanted to say something like "algae-based" you would have to say alga-based. If "algae-based" doesn't sound wrong to you just substitute another plural in there such as "horses-based" to see how it sounds.
The Bay area is cheap compared to Vancouver Canada:

I'm starting to think they'll never fix this.

Slashdot messed up the path name. Where you see the double slashes is obviously the user name.
Setting up Google Chrome as the default PDF reader is more secure, and it's one less program to update. To do so in Windows 7 just right click on a PDF file, click "open with", click "choose default program", click Browse, and Browse to the following file:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe
Adobe Reader does have some features that Chrome lacks, but 95% of users will be perfectly fine with just Chrome.
Many of the early adopters out there are Google Apps users, and yet we still can't use our Google Apps accounts with Google+. I've heard many good things about Google+ but am still waiting for Google to allow me to use it.
And I'm not interested in managing yet another account just to try out Google+.
... Too bad the front camera of it is not the greatest, but still, for a year and half device should not be so bad.
The front-facing cameras on the Google Nexus S, iPhone 4, and N900 are all 640x480.
Try it with a fresh profile.
If that fixes it then it obviously has something do with your extensions or something else in the profile.
If that does not fix it then try turning off hardware acceleration and see if that helps (options->advanced->general). I'm not sure what else to suggest right now, as I just started playing with it. It's certainly quicker on my system, and all the reviews indicate that it should be significantly faster.
Your analogy would make more sense if you said you didn't want to fly in a plane unless it was built by a physicist, as that's a closer analogy when comparing computer science to programming.
Software engineers learn how to built software, and aerospace engineers learn how to built airplanes.
You appear to be making many assumptions:
You assume that people who do not complete a CS or math degree are not smart and do not learn things quickly. I need not comment on this one.
You assume that people in a software engineering program are spending four years programming. I hope that's not what they're doing in your universities.
You assume that a CS or Math grad is more likely to be able to "do" Lisp or ML than someone from a software engineering program. I think this unlikely, but again it depends on the curriculums at your universities.
Software engineering programs tend to have a few course in business. They will also tend to cover security, data and database admin, software quality and reliability engineering, and software architecture--all of which are usually not covered in a CS degree. Neither of the major universities near me have any courses on security within their CS faculties, which is obviously important these days.
I'm not sure what "MIS" means to you, but that acronym isn't used here to describe anything that's similar to software engineering.
Maybe the software engineering programs in your area just aren't very good or maybe there aren't any?
That does not compute.
