Jeffrey,
That's a rather broad and sweeping generalization, made for no apparent
reason. It comes across as something posted without much thought. which
is disappointing coming from someone whose title indicates that he might
be a data processing professional.
Based on my own experiences and those of others, I'd say that "rather
unstable" is an inaccurate representation of its released state. This is
not to say that some users haven't experienced problems with Warp 4... or
Warp 3, or Kermit, or MSWin95, or any piece of software. But a software
professional is expected to know and understand the meaning of terms such
as "unstable", and how to use them correctly.
This endeth the language lesson for the day...
