Re: [Evolution] Is it just me?

Mr. Bond:
  IMHO, it's just you.  It's easy to ignore improvements, especially
when there's still a ways to go.  But Evolution has become increasingly
more stable with each iteration.  Sure, it still crashes sometimes.  It
crashes more often than it should, perhaps.  But it's getting a lot
better, and it's getting better really fast.
  I remember 0.0 and 0.1; heck, I remember pre-0.0, when compiling it
was a nightmare adventure and it crashed almost instantly. I remember
when it would crash whenever you switched components more than twice. 
We've got a crackerjack team of developers on the project and it's
really improving.  For beta software at version 0.5 I think we're doing
just fine.
 Of course, that is just my opinion, and I can understand your
concerns.  Nobody wants this to turn into another... well, let's not
name names.  But rest assured we're aware of the problems and we're
fixing them as fast as we can.

Sincerely,
Aaron Weber
