The Cobalt may have been junk, but the Ecotec engines are robust little motors. A minor flaw with the early timing chain tensioners led to some problems, but if you weren't oblivious you can normally get it fixed before it does any serious damage.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy something with one if it suited my needs otherwise. At this point, I've had far less trouble with my Ecotecs than my Honda engines...
