Regarding the "is Dabo stable" question, IMO it depends on your meaning of stable. I consider "stability" in this context to mean "to what extent is the API set in stone?" Dabo is at 0.5, most of the core API is in place and "stable", but things do change and nothing is really guaranteed to be unchanging yet. We do make changes semi-regularly that require at least a minimum of rewriting in our client apps. For the most part, though, you can be reasonably sure that code you write in Dabo today will still work fine when 1.0 is released.
The other, and I think, more critical definition of stable is "will it damage/corrupt my data?" The answer to that is no; well, at least no more so than any other database product out on the market. Nothing is 100% perfect, but I've been using Dabo for several months now to manage several databases, and while I've had to update the app because of API changes a couple of times, I've never lost any data.
