I have a confidence level in it now that I just didn't have before around a 
year ago. 
This is based mostly on my experience developing my commercial software around 
Dabo. 
Up until about a year ago (less, actually) it seemed like every release of my 
software had new errors due to some change or another in Dabo. These were 
either new 
bugs that were introduced with new features or enhancements in Dabo, or 
behavior that 
had been fixed and my code was relying on the original (bad) behavior.

To some extent this will probably always be the case. Right now, for instance, 
I'm 
noticing different behavior in drop down lists - something is reverting the 
Value 
back to the first item in the Choices instead of the value already gotten from 
the 
bizobj upon update(). But the number and severity of the behavior changes has 
stabilized.

Frankly, I'm surprised at your reaction. All I was trying to do is signal that 
I'd 
embrace a 1.0 finally, because I realize that you've wanted this for years and 
unless 
I said something you'd never know I'd changed my view. And then you go and jump 
all 
over me about it. ;)
