Care to expand on your negative views? How many miles have you racked up with One World to come to that viewpoint (for comparison, I'm around 1.5 million and still happy there)? I'd also note that as Gold at UA you're earning 50% bonus miles compared to the 100% bonus miles you'd earn at AA.
The only bit that annoys me about OW is the YQ on award bookings, making the miles worth significantly less.
