I always take UberX, I usually talk to the driver, and I almost never hear complaints. (The sole exception: when they lowered prices here in Boston). It's usually lots of praise.
I also often meet new drivers who are in love with the idea that they can work whenever they feel like it after their shift at the restaurant, or are retired, or somesuch. I don't know whether it's just a continuous stream of new drivers, but it seems like there's room for a world where all drivers are part-timers. It screws with the career drivers, but who are we to say that the part timers don't deserve that revenue?
