In Nature Genetics or PNAS a moderate amount of prayer can be helpful,
but nice visuales are possibly more powerful.

I once sent one paper to Plos ONE, review was fine, but the editorial
process _after_ the review was sloppy. This is one of the reasons for me
not to send more manuscripts.
My own experience as associate editor of GSE and frequent reviewer of other
journals (Genetics, JDS, JAS, JABG) is that editors and reviewers take
their work very seriously. I definitely think that journals controlled by
Societies (such as Genetics or JDS) are more focused.

Jerry,
I side with you and will join your proposal of a boycott to PLOS ONE. Here
goes a definition (Wikipedia):
"A boycott is an act of voluntarily abstaining from using, buying, or dealing
with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually
for social or political reasons. The purpose of a boycott is to inflict some
economic loss on the target, or to indicate a moral outrage, to try to compel
the target to alter an objectionable behavior."
which should be extended to "social, political or scientific reasons"
I must be brief. Otherwise I will miss the 00:10 flying ark.

Take a look at the reader comments. Plenty of calls for retraction in there!
Sometimes it just makes you wonder why we find it so hard to get papers
published with 3-4 rounds of review and re-review and then something
like this pops up!
I didnt much like PLoS One before thisbut now I think we will make sure
that our papers go elsewhere.by design!

Just read the abstract of this PLoS One paper:

Draw your own conclusion.
