Do you have a concrete example? Why is the encoder terrible?

Sample?

Seriously the only area where it might be a tiny bit better is for ultra-high compression where it does not start falling apart as badly as jpeg, for any sane (mid ot high) image quality range the vast array of jpeg encoders are doing a significantly better job of retaining detail
Could be it because you're trying to recompress an already jpeg-encoded source? (aka, spurious resonance). This seems like an overly broad statement, otherwise.
