If this happens on a regular basis then many new people may not come back to bitcoins if their first transaction stuck in this delay. They may not get a confidence in bitcoins and may not come back to bitcoin. Hope these things will sort out soon.
What you are telling is not right, who ever knows about bitcoin and its technology wont think wrong about this delays. This is a temporary problem due to bitcoin over load transactions. and even the price is going up so the transaction fees is gone up but most of the users are still using the old transaction fees that is the problem for slow in getting delay in confirmation
