My only gripe about Le Creuset is that once you burn food on the bottom of the pan (which seems inevitable with the dutch oven), the stains never come out of the white enamel. My mother has a dutch oven she got for a wedding present close to 50 years ago and it's still going strong.

You can view cookware as a tool, or as a decorative item. If you use it as a tool, it's going to show signs of use, like stains on the enamel. If you want it to stay pretty, arrange it nicely on a shelf. Personally, I think a tool looks better when you can see it's been put to good use.
