This is true of virtually any tyre if you go by anecdotal online reviews. I think if you buy any tyre from a reputable manufacturer with a modicum of puncture protection (and don't go with the bottom of the range) then your experience is likely to be ok. Sometimes you'll get a rash of flats because of bad luck or bad karma but if you keep them inflated to sensible pressures you'll minimise the chances of that happening.

FWIW there are a few tyres that seem to almost universally liked. Examples would be the Conti GP4000s (for all round including racing) and the Michelin Krylion Carbon (for all round including winter training on bad roads). Personally I've had good experiences with Vittorias for the high end but for commuting I'm not especially picky.
