I feel much the same.  It's all well and good when you're not sharing
airspace with anybody, but in a crowded location, I'm surprised if it
works well.

Years of having to deal with hassles of multi-transmitter interference
while using wireless microphones and walkie-talkies has made me
reluctant to use anything wireless when I could plug a cable in.

What defines a crowded location is variable.  You could be in the middle
of a few access points, and few clients, spread fairly widely, where
it's merely a case of which one too choose, and you can use any of them
without *too* much trouble.  You could be in a block of flats, with
access points and multiple clients behind every wall, floor, and
ceiling, with several on the same channel, blocking each other.
