What are the overall reputations of manufacturers like Cessna,
Raytheon Beechcraft, Piper, Mooney, Cirrus, and all the others?

In every domain, there are usually specific legends and/or realities
associated with particular manufacturers' equipment. What are they in
general aviation?

From what I've read here, Beech is considered a bit hoity-toity,
Cessna is a common workhorse of sorts, Mooney is a case apart that
some love and some hate, and ... I'm not sure for the others.

I bring this up because of the occasional references I see along these
lines, implying that a Baron 58 is a Cadillac or that Mooney aircraft
have bizarre minds of their own. It makes me wonder. I'm sure each
manufacturer must have a bit of "personality" that shows through each
of the aircraft it builds.
