What's wrong with vinyl windows?
Exactly what is in these 'acceptable' windows that makes them ok, while the
others should not be installed?

I was referring to Pella vinyl.
There is nothing wrong with vinyl windows.

I was not looking for a testimonial from you guys.
I'm just gathering opinions to make a good judgement call.
I have a call into the Crestline sales rep to find out why their
fiberglass windows have the AAMA certification, but their
vinyl windows don't, as listed in their brochures. I understand
that fiberglass is a stronger material than vinyl, but I want
a better explanation.
I am not jumping at Crestline. I would rather keep my old windows
than put in an inferior product. However, I am on a budget and
these window companies are asking too much money.

Why not hold off on your window project until you can save more money to increase your budget? You would not be so limited in your choices and could then choose a window not soley based on cost.

I wasn't aware they made a fiberglass window. They make a crappy wood and vinyl window as everyone has suggested so how good can it be??

I don't think they do. Their website doesn't show one anyway...
