Quite the opposite in my opinion. They are solid machines, excellent components, well designed and built and generally problem free.
I'm on my fourth Dell desktop, though upgrades over the years, and they're better now than ever (and I was always very happy with them). In fact my old 700mHz P3 is running Win Xp Pro as a server now, 24/7 and it's 5 years old.

I'd disagree with the upgrade bit on current models. On my current desktop I've doubled the RAM (always buy your own, never from Dell, it's overpriced) added an additional hard drive and replaced the DVD-ROM with a DVD-RW drive. Most people don't want to upgrade motherboards, it's generally more economical to upgrade the whole PC anyway!
