Haha, GNOME 3 was only "stable" because it didn't do anything.
Change the font size? No.
Taskbar? No.
Single click application lanuch? No.
Applets? No.
It was like a "high quality" Hello World in my eyes.
I think most people complained about KDE4 for the same reasons. The functionality they were used to was gone. Not because it was buggy.
When something is buggy at least you can be reasonably sure it will eventually stabilize. It's even pretty easy to fix crashers and bugs as someone unfamiliar with the project. Major features, not so much.
When functionality is missing and the devs are saying, "you don't need that, you were doing it wrong!", that is what really annoys people.
