A new user can never know if a problem is a bug or some mistake they made. Often they just think the software is too hard and give up, or if they determine it is a small bug they write the whole software off as buggy and give up. Trying to learn on beta-software for the first time is very frustrating. For another thing stable takes less time to support. As for power users they can do whatever they want, but from hard experience doing production number crunching I've found it safer (& more citable+reproducible) using well tested code, if you don't absolutely need some new feature. Stable versions of QGIS and GRASS can still be used independently, yes? Just not starting QGIS from the GRASS prompt? Is the problem with the gdal-grass plugin (& why would the GRASS version matter to recent code from GDAL?) or is it the GRASS module toolbox which expects to see 6.3?
