I have a low tolerance for tools that don't work well.

I'm not willing to put up with rough edges for "continued innovation" in a mainline product, and I don't see why I should have to.

Release the rough product as a beta for those who like the bleeding edge. Sand those edges down before mainstreaming it. The eagerness of software companies to release junk in the mainstream as a kind of "free" beta testing or market research is a large part of why software quality is not so good these days.
