You may have hit a point here.

I suspect that one of the routes to a bug laden area is a massive
upgrade, meaning jumping from a 1.4x to a 1.60 version. Or going
backwards because of being unsatisfied. It seems to create problems.
Personally, I never downgrade by a far margin and have no problems
with TB!. I've used all released versions and tried just about every
beta. I've never lost mail out of the blue. When I see plans to make a
massive upgrade or downgrade posted, I usually look out for the
complaints and hope the person backed up.

Though real mishaps do occur, I do think that most of the negative
stuff that I've read are about program limitations or complaints based
on a poor or faulty understanding of TB! and its functionality.
Another contributor is that some users try to make TB! work *exactly*
how they want or exactly how the previously used clients work and
little issues/limitations come up that prevent this. Little issues
that often just require a different approach but there's a resistance
to welcoming a different approach so the implemented method is
criticised and the complaining starts. I'm not really saying anything
is particularly wrong with this. I just don't see that many posts
about TB! causing data loss and under these circumstances it's very
unlikely to be TB! but a system problem.
