My 2¢:

If it's a software product, and you're debating whether it's time to release, it's probably time to release.

If your customers try your product and quickly abandon it because of it's imperfections, you prioritize fixing those imperfections. If they complain a little, and a few of them leave after a while because they're fed up, it's probably worth fixing those imperfections at some point, but you may want to focus on other priorities.

What about the importance of the 'first impression'. This is an overwhelming concern for the PM of my current product, and going for that 'extra 10%' is causing many delays to launch.
