I've used both REALbasic 2005 and 2006. I can tell you that REALbasic 2006 is a *LOT* more stable: I've actually been able to build a medium project with only one or two minor problems and one major one (it seems like strings received from a socket can get f***ed up in a tight loop... somehow reordering the incoming data...). If you're not working with sockets, I highly recommend upgrading. Although, the Language Reference for 2006 still leaves a lot to be desired.

I've just recently been told that I have a limited time (until June 28) to save $50 by purchasing an upgrade "subscription" to RB. This would be an upgrade from RB2005r4 to RB2006r2. I am one of the people on the side of the fence that doesn't particularly like the 2005-2006 interface and I find the bugs too annoying in 2005r4 and below to actually use it. I can deal with the interface, I suppose, but I'm not sure about the bugs and IDE sluggishness. My question is: Is it worth it to purchase the upgrade now, or should I wait until RB2007? Are many of you still having a lot of trouble? Haven't heard anything lately, so I'm wondering if most of the bugs have been ironed out. Thanks!
