Not OC question, but rather copied this from the pragmatic programmer

As a user, would you rather (1) wait for them [the software dev/company] to get all the bugs out, (2) have complex software and accept some bugs, or (3) opt for simpler software with fewer defects?

    I don’t expect to live eternally and certainly don’t expect to wait that long ;)

    As a user I factor-in the various bugs/issues/constraints I have to deal with using any software to decide if it’s worth it or not. If it i snot I don’t use it.

    Note that I also factor the freedom/privacy-respecting aspects of any software, as a user I mean.
