No and Never.  As they fix one bug, and skip one, they create another 
bug.  If I were you, I'd just consider them as features and not bugs. 
Not that they aren't trying work out bug, because they are, but it seems 
like they'll never actually get on top of all of them.

This list has a good mix of Mac, Win and Linux.  In my short time here I 
have rarely seen any debates about which is better and such.
