Default Woodcraft Router Bits - Any good?

These bits seem to cheap to be any good. Am I right? And if so, why am
I right?

I admit that I don't do production woodworking and probably don't put
any individual router bits through hundreds of board feet per year,
but my Woodcraft $5 router bits (which I believe are the same bits as
those in the reference set) have worked well for me. I have a couple
of higher priced bits (Whiteside) and I cannot tell any difference in
the cut. Again, I haven't used either enough to require resharpening
(or in the case of the Woodcraft bits, replacing as that is less
expensive than resharpening). If you are doing woodworking for a
living or planning to refurnish your home over the next year, spring
for good bits. However, in my opinion, if this is a hobby and money
has any meaning, the Woodcraft bits are pretty good.
