I'll chime in...

While I wouldn't say that the environment is as stable as... well 
anything really, I would say that I've been pleasantly surprised with 
2.2, and 2.2.1 under OSX. I have a complex app, which puts heavy stress 
on the IDE (I think), and haven't had to do any reinstalls, and have 
only had the occasional crasher. In most cases, the crash has been due 
to a plug in, and initially, to something I was doing, I guess. 
Whatever I was doing, I must have stopped, as in general the IDE has 
stabilized, and I now routinely work in my app for a day or two without 
even closing Rev.

Now, in this app, I elected to do NO "menu stuff." None. Why? Every 
time I tried messing with menus, Rev would crash.  ;-)  ALL of my menus 
are contained within the app, in the form of option buttons, etc. It 
isn't ideal, but this particular app can stand that without seeming out 
of the ordinary.

So, that leaves me with menus as a suspect to increased frequency of 
crashers.

OS 10.3.4
