Are Tasco Telescopes really that bad?

I had two Tasco fracs in the early 70's, an awful 40mm with a zoom fixed EP quickly followed by a 60mm which was on a terrible Alt-Az mount with dreadful EP's. The finder despite being a 5 x24mm was itself stopped down.
The 40mm scope was also stopped down and at best reached 8th Mag.
I have a 20 x 30mm Tasco draw tube these days which I use as part of my pirate outfit, optically very average but it looks the part. Don't ask why!
