Since 20.5 release I've reported more than 30 bugs. In less than two weeks.
The number is not exaggerated. Actually if we counted the bugs I experienced but SideFX can't reproduce, it would be close to 40.
(It's more than the number of bugs I reported for Blender in 5 years of usage)
I do think SideFX' support is quite good. If it was Adobe they wouldn't even respond my emails. But man that's a lot of bugs.

The fact that even the most basic functionalities like viewport and hotkeys can break is insane. It's like releasing a new car model whose steering wheel isn't 100% reliable but cheered for its in-car entertainment system.

Hopefully, as you already know - keep putting those RFEs and Bug reports in - I'm pretty sure it's a numbers game in the regard that if many people share your view on those RFEs/bugs - attention will definitely be given to them and resolved/changed.

To me, animation is the most buggy part.
Unfortunately, even I reported a lot of bugs, I didn't report the most important and fatal ones. I only reported the ones that I can easily and reliably reproduce.
I also experienced a lot crashes. But they're always quite random so I really don't know how to report them. I didn't report the random crash I encountered with Copernicus, for example.
Even all the bugs I've reported are magically fixed overnight, Houdini is still a quite unstable app, just with less UI bugs.
...Perhaps I should just stop reporting. The more I think about it the more pointless it seems. Perhaps I'm just wasting SideFX support's and my own time. Perhaps the only reason I'm complaining in this thread is that I realized how pointless it is. Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Anyway mayby you have some advices hot to avoid those bugs? Specially for new users that dont have expierience how to work around and eliminate software crushes? and propably do stupid things xD
