It was a friendly "dicks" for you and joe calling me "hater."
Really I love our printer. I think the various materials are cool but it's important to have realistic expectations for their properties.
The clay/ceramic is probably the neatest of all of the exotics I'll admit.

That looks like a nice printer. To echo what Cyotani said, if printing ABS build a temp controlled enclosure. Large prints or prints with thin walls will have a really hard time printing in open air. Also, if you are doing ABS check your parts with calipers. ABS contract a lot (which causes the warping issues) but can also throw off part dimensions significantly.
It's super annoying that there is a patent for heated enclosures. It is a totally obvious solution to ABS warping, and arguably not different than having your printer in a temp regulated house or building.

It also helps reduce drafts. I've only built a few ABS parts but they seemed to build OK.
