I am one of those people who actually likes wikipedia. It's obviously not something you should ever cite as a source on a research paper, but it is good for getting a general understanding on many topics. I'll often start with a wikipedia article just to get a general sense of what something is, then delve into more reputable sources for a research paper.
No source of information can really be perfect though. The reputation behind the publisher of the information makes a big difference these days.
