Is PHD2 buggy?

Reading through some recent threads on Cloudy Nights concerning problems with PHD2. I was about to install it. What the local experience with it? Should I stay on PHD1 for now?

I use it and have no problems to date. Lots of cool features. It's free and you can have both on your computer at the same time. Give it a go... I'm sure you will like it..

Glen,
I changed over earlier this year for spectroscopic guiding...
The latest version 2.2.2 is very very good and miles ahead of the ol' v1
I recommend it.

No problems here. I think it runs better than v1.

Again, no problems here. I like the v2 version much better than v1 - extra features and it seems to work better.

A more valid question is "Is PHD2 buggier than PHD?"

I had more problems with the original than I do with the new one. Both programs are flaky but PHD2 seems to not lock the interface as much while processing.
