Actually, 6.0 is the most stable Fox release in some time. Lots of existing bugs have been fixed, some that go back to the 2.x days. Few new problems have been introduced. Most of those are in the new features. IMO, the most buggy thing in 6.0 is the component gallery, but I haven't used everything. It 6.0 more or less stable than 5.0a? It depends on exactly what you are doing. My advice is to get 6.0 and start experimenting. If you find it works for your specific needs, go with it. I'm using it and not having any problems.
