Can we please go back to v4.2.
There is little chance of that as much as I'm going to rant about 0.4.3.
So here's the deal folks, I've worked in the industry long enough to realize what 0.4.3 is. It's an abandoned release. What I mean by that is it's a release that was in development so long and had so many problems because of the scope of the change that JDB just got fed up working on it and sent it out because he became too impatient with the sunk costs of the development cycle rather than releasing a version that would have significantly moved the needle on the product.
To provide an analogy, 0.4.3 is the Windows ME or Duke Nukem Forever of MFN. For those of you old enough, remember that Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE were steady, stable, reliable products while Windows ME was hot flaming garbage. That's what we have right now in 0.4.3 unstable, abandoned code.
Of course, all of this has an easy fix. Remove all the nerfs put into place since April 1 that completely destabilized the code, and let things play out as they will.
