Allow me to digress.
I have been a SL customer since first versions and when every new one comes out, brings surprising (sometimes amazing) features.
Considering that these functions have, many of them, been pioneering if not radically new in the field… and this for a field that has been created along, then one would expect some inconveniences once and then.
Of course, once a new version is released it is expected to work on all kinds of differing PC systems and varied configurations, so bugs are expected. More so at a so complex tool as SL has become.
Personally, I vote for continuing the impressive cadence of improvement and innovative development. In all fairness it is accompanied with the main developer involvement and consequent post release responsiveness, accommodating many interesting requests and suggestions from this thriving users’ community. Let alone the vital in between versions frequent upgrades, workflow improvements and coming new features!
In this perspective, and in view of all the amazing tasks many at this forum and I, are able to daily achieve using SL at very real artistic and professional fields, then calling SL a beta release is a gross misnomer. Something that you are entitled to think, respectfully say and accordingly act upon.
