Switched From P3Dv5 to P3Dv6

Clunky - maybe. But extremely reliable. I use PF3 (also for MSFS), which does the stuff perfectly the newer offerings are still struggling with. Of course it also has it's drawbacks, but if I want to enjoy a normal A-to-B flight, that's what I choose.

That's the choice we have, and are always going to have: Use the tried & tested, but sometimes outdated alternative, or the flashy & pretty newer one and suffer bugs and missing features. It comes down to personal preference.

As if older software did not have issues. They do and, unlike new releases, they aren’t typically improved at the same pace, if at all.

They do, of course, but generally fewer.

Coming from a software development background I can say all software has issues, and the more "agile" the development, the more broken functionality and new and exciting bugs that end up going go into the too hard basket 😉

A development manager once said to me, "we don't release to fix bugs, we release to make sales".

Eventually software maturity and stability will be achived provided the development of said software continues.

Cheers
