While it's clear what you meant to most regulars, it might be slightly misleading to anyone new to Terragen.
Just to clarify: A year ago (a month ago, even) TG2 was unreleased and in heavy development -
naturally there'd be stability issues. But the final released version is overall very stable.
Planetside's attitude to stability can also be seen with their forerunner product, Terragen Classic, which was also very stable. Any stability issues after a new release were quickly patched (days, perhaps a week or two at most) - The same attitude persists with TG2, thus far.
Right, CA can have his hat back now.

@ ShackletonI'm not a Vue user, but one issue which I notice differentiates TG and Vue and hasn't been mentioned, is development pace.
It's taken a long time for Terragen to get to where it is. As noone (except perhaps a privileged few??) knows the internal health of Planetside it's hard to say whether they will pick up the pace. Essentially, for development pace to increase TG needs a few more hands; or the developers need to be working on this full time, if they're not already (it's hard to imagine that they are or were - thin air doesn't put food in bellies?). But this is all speculation fuelled only by what is know publicly - there's possibly a lot that isn't known that may change this outlook, but left dangling,
we I speculate.
That said, Vue may amass all the new features is cares, but devoid of stability and poor support, quickly deem themselves useless, I guess. So on the one hand you've got an app with lots of marketing bucks previewing new features what seems every six months, but they probably won't work like you'd expect. And on the other, there's a solid app that may lack on features but still produces great results, is quite cheap, has great support bla bla...
I'd say at TG's price you cant loose (even if you still continue with Vue). Plus, if enough people think like this then maybe Planetside will acquire the kind of revenue need to pick up the development rate.
