I parted ways with artscroll early on. The first issue was a program they were running that to the man in the street, was an ugly market share ploy. They were offering their siddur in shul quantities at low or no cost, with the condition that they be flipped for the shuls other siddurim, delivered to A.S. with the covers removed. At the time I pinched myself and double checked that I had not misunderstood. The final straw was a comment by my rosh yeshiva about errors in punctuation in their tehillim. And the weight of an artscroll siddur is hazardous to your carpal tunnels.
