From my experience, the Adirondack and the Vermonter are constantly duking it out over which one can provide the worst and slowest service in the Amtrak system, so it's not just you.
The Vermonter is slow, but I actually like the service. The coaches I've seen are always reasonably clean, and the 2-1 Club seating in Business Class is superb (the Adirondack desperately needs this option). The crews are also generally friendly IME.
