That's just blatantly untrue, just about 6 feet in front of me I have a fixed gear mountain bike that uses a quick release. It's given me months of trouble free riding (It's new to me) and I don't expect it will give me any trouble in the future.
That's not to say it's not somewhat trickier than a bolt on, you do need to know how to use a quick release properly.
