Well-designed but not durable

I've made some fine meals in this pan and like everything about the construction and design -- weight, depth, handle shape and size -- but like many reviewers I'm disappointed in the durability of the nonstick coating. It's only been 8 months and there are patches where it's worn; cleaning is increasingly difficult. Though it's still usable, I'm already scouting for a replacement. I know nonstick skillets have a limited lifespan, but I expect it to be a matter of years, not months. My old Emeril 8 inch has had much more use/abuse than this one and it's only now, after maybe 3-4 years, starting to wear down. Cuisinart needs to up its game if they want to keep customers loyal.
