I do not find XY-Win very buggy. I do have the occasional "Protection
Violation" trouble, and sometimes it suddenly forgets where the fonts
are ("Font file not found" -- although they are where they always are).
Almost always, this happens after long continuous use, with lots of other
programs open at the same time. Usually, I can close and get out of it
without having to reset. Other Windoze programs crash with about the
same frequency, so XY-Win does not stand out particularly.
That is not to say that some improvements to XY-Win would not be
desirable -- in particular the ludicrous install procedure and the
lack of modern filters come to mind.
Just my 2 Yen.
