If you've made crap bread it is YOUR fault, not the breadmaker. The breadmaker did not get the measurements wrong, or whatever else caused the crap bread 
There is a large number of breadmaker fans in here mate.
You may find that out shortly
There are also traditionalists who make bread 'properly'!!

I don't understand people who need breadmakers ! It takes about 10 minutes to make a loaf of bread then stick it in the oven . People who need bread makers must be a bit simple

I never used the breadmaker, and the person who did make the bread didnt do anything wrong, its just that the bread was crap compared to real breadgeminisnake said:If you've made crap bread it is YOUR fault, not the breadmaker.

And I'm one of them.
I will be making bread tomorrow by hand, because I'll have the time, (and it's traditional to bake bread on New Year's Day) but most of the time I'm glad to wake up to good, well-risen, fresh bread from the bread maker.

No, great bread compared to other homemade bread which has been baked in the oven. After all, you're using the same ingredients, and the mechanics of the baking process aren't much difference. The only real difference is that it takes the time and hassle out on kneeding, and means the oven's not tied up for so long.
Perhaps the loaf you tried was from a crap bread maker?

Maybe people who have breadmakers
a) don't have central heating therefore there is nowhere for the bread to rise
b) don't like stuff under their finger nails
(stops me doing quite a few things)c) would forget they are making bread at some point, thus the mix would be wasted
d) I could go on but can't be bothered now

FFS kneeding hardly takes anytime at all and it's quite theraputic IMO ! Admit it your a lazy bugger who is a slave to machines . I bet you claim that you "made" the bread "yourself" as well don't you !

It takes more time than I've got. And it ties up the oven if I'm in, or means I have to leave it on if I'm out, which I don't like doing.
Yes, I'm lazy. No, I'm not a slave to machines.
When can you claim that you made it yourself, and when can't you? Did you grind the flour, or grow the grain? Pah!

It takes about 10-15 minutes to do the kneeding , about an hour to leave the bread to rise and then another hour to bake it . All of which can be done quite easily . Are you trying to claim that you are never at home for more than 2 hours ata atime , and that when you are home the oven is in constant use ! I appreciate bread makers can be convieniant but your making out hand made bread is some massive chore that takes hours of solid work and uses up the oven for days on end when it doesn't !

It's not that I'm not in for more than two hours, although, there's many days when I'm not. And i know it's not a massive chore - but it is more hassle than the breadmaker. The point is, why bother when, in my experience, it's just as good out of the machine?! And I can set it so it's just finished as I get up... mmm.

I actually enjoy kneeding the bread so I don't see making bread as a hassle , the convienience of bread makers is ok but I just prefer making my own !

Good bread takes time. I start work quite early, so wouldn't want to get up to leave enought time for proving and baking. Fortunately I have a machine that does that all for me.
It's quite simple - enjoyable though kneading etc is, I wouldn't realistically do it before breakfast every day.

Just remembered
e) I have a shoulder injury which means I can't knead bread properly

I *heart* my new breadmaker. It makes great bread. luvverly. and it totally takes the hassle out of making bread. I used to make my own bread years ago but just can't be arsed/don't have the time these days, so at least having a breadmaker means I don't have to buy crap shop bread, so it's better in that respect.
