I don't want to be defending cabbies, by any stretch of the imagination, I'm just counselling caution against Uber.
FWIW, I have a couple of mates who are cabbies. They're both very nice, respectful drivers. One used to be a bike messenger. It's just a pity that human wounds like @TaxiWarrior are the most vocal, and worst, of the bunch.
