That is the biggest load of dribble I've ever heard. Michelin does have some tyres that are just average but they are by no means specifically bad at braking, that's just hogwash. They typically don't have very good treadwear but that's because they are pretty sticky. Normal sort of tradeoff.
I will point out that in my experience, Michelins are better than anything else I've tried (bridgestone, fuzion, toyo, kumho, falken) when it comes to wet traction. And before Michelin withdrew from F1, they were also noticeably quicker in the wet than the bridgestones.
Have a look at Tirerack's tyre survey and judge for yourself.
