Something is wrong with the ones you're buying, then.

Studies show that they do, on average, last dozens of times longer. Personally I replace them way less often than incandescent.

I suppose the earliest ones were worse and there are definitely garbage ones out there. And even good brands have a did here and there. And if you have poor/inconsistent power, or placing them in hot, enclosed fixtures, they don't perform as well as they could.
