I know this is blasphemy, but does anyone else ever feel like the only thing we're really gaining from chasing the latest WM builds is new bugs?

I just loaded up the stock bootloader/ROM for a warranty issue, and it is kind of refreshing to have everything working normally. Scrolling through lists is fast, there are no Today screen issues (dcinobar, disappearing Start Bar, etc), RAM at first boot is decent at about 24MB, and the list continues. To be clear, I'm not talking about any minor glitches that may have been introduced by no2chem or any of his nueTools (which are amazingly useful). I'm talking about system wide issues that seem to affect any ROM built off some of the latest Diamond/Pro WM builds, be they from a DCD ROM/kitchen, a PPCKitchen.org kitchen, or whatever. Sometimes it seems like we'd be better off sticking with an older build until something trully worthwhile or useful presents itself in a later build. Then our master chefs could focus on a stationary target, versus simply tracking down bugs that the latest build of Windows Mobile introduced.

Ah, maybe I'm just grumpy because I got up too early this morning. Need more coffee...
