Hi :) Ok, lets say that when people encounter a blocker of a problem maybe nearly as many as 1% bother to complain and the rest just check the download in the bin and tell their friends that LO "just isn't ready yet".
Lets also say that of 100 downloads 90% are from people that already use LO for their own machine(s). Sometimes they stuff it up and have to download again. Often people download for each and every machine rather than re-using the one they already downloaded. Sometimes they go back to previous versions and then another day re-download to try again. Of the remaining 10% lets say 9% are LO users that make a Cd/Dvd or Usb or just copy directly to give LO to friends who never get around to install that weird LO thing. We can all invent our own sets of figures and try to justify our guesses based on "studies" done for completely unrelated things.

LibreOffice 3.5.x has been downloaded 4 million times from TDF mirrors, plus another million from other download web sites. Let's estimate a 20% physiological drop, and consider "only" 4 million users (conservative). It means that 4000 complaints would be a mere 0,1% and 400 a negligible 0,01% (we are in the "part per million" ballpark, which is just amazing). Based on these figures, I do not think that claiming that the software is not stable is correct. Of course, we should bring any number as close as possible to 0, because there are areas where we could improve substantially.
