Yes, but that's not a good thing; IMO they've hit the point where they're dying by papercuts. If one user in a million has a completely awful show stopper bug, the product/business will probably be fine. If one in ten users has a fairly serious bug, they're in a bad spot. Obviously they're not at either of those extremes.... but I think they're closer to the latter than the former.

This is true of every large piece of software though. Pretty much every piece of software I use in anger has absolute showstopper bugs, but the alternative isn't betterm it's different.
