Is FSA stuff any good?

I see a lot of bikes at LBSs with FSA components, particularly cranks and stems. Are their components any good? I have to admit I'm a bit suspicious because I'm wondering if OEMs aren't cheaping out by using the FSA stuff instead of the genuine article (SRAM, Shimano, etc.) I also read that Sheldon had a number of bad experiences with their bottom brackets such that his shop stopped selling them. That said, I have a fitter-recommended FSA Omega short reach bar on my new ride along with an OS-190 stem.

Any thoughts from knowledgeable grease monkeys would be greatly appreciated.
