Well, in over a thousand posts helping folks both here and when I was on the email forum, I've yet to write a single word of complaint about that bloated, inefficient, outdated product. Which I may add, contributes to consistantly give me a bigger pay-check than the Managing Director of the company I work for and allowed me to pay-off a $500k mortgage in under 3 years. If people don't like the product so much, why are they here on this forum - shouldn't they be on a competitors site? Good example of yours though... ol' Henry earned damn good money out of that Model-T (though I wouldn't give you anything for his current offerings!).

"offerings that have had to briefly go through the "not so stable" stage"
When your designs feed factory production lines making close to half a million units annually, products giving "not so stable" results are just not an option. When those goods ship out the door, it's a one-way journey and we NEVER want them to come back. To even consider "not so stable" has got to be the crazyest thing I've read yet! How many things would you tollerate around your home or workplace that were "not-so-stable" (apart from your chosen compiler)? Your car?, perhaps the plane you next fly in? The air conditioner? Your shower water temperature? The building elevator perhaps? When you complained, what if you got an answer "Well, we used an unstable software tool to build your product, so that's just tough, you'll have to suffer it". Sure you would! You'd be the first in the queue asking for a refund.
