And this is fair enough, but you have to understand how frustrating it is for users when functionality that they rely on for productivity is yanked away from them.

I do, that is what I meant with "not nice".
Stuff is released with known bugs. We make a list of blocker bugs, but it is more of a "what must and can be fixed before x.x.0". There are just too many bugs.

To be fair, we are pretty bad at fixing bugs or stability in GNOME 3.
Granted, that is on purpose, because we are iterating a lot faster than in the late GNOME 2 series, but it's worth pointing out nonetheless.

Personally, I've been quite impressed with the speed at which GNOME has fixed bugs---as long as they don't get immediately closed with something equivalent to "that's a feature".

I really have no clue on this. There are some terribly annoying bugs, but they either get fixed quickly, or are left because the fix is hard or unknown (e.g. extensions not working on various distributions except Fedora: wtf. no clue if common packaging bug or upstream).
I'm terrible at QA: Always run the latest tarballs, but usually don't even trigger the most obvious crashers. I just rely on following Bugzilla for that (GNOME and Mageia).
I'm aiming at allowing people to follow GNOME more closely. More people tracking GNOME means hopefully more contributors (testers, triagers, and maybe eventually developers).
I do know that new applications take at least a cycle to get better. But we're releasing them early as well (which IMO is good). E.g. Boxes.
