One person experience Bug A, another person bug B and the other way
around, it works fine.

Well, what about GNOME users, MySQL users, Apache users, Subversion users,
Midnight COmmander users, ...
There is always some release that would be nice to have in the near future.
Waiting for those leads to no freeze at all. I think 4.4.5 is a better choice
than 4.5.0. In 4.5.0 you have the kdepim issue with some release around KDE
4.5.2 or so.

4.5 is not "just" a fix. It's a new release with new issues. And here 4.4.x
runs smoothly since 4.4.2 or 4.4.3. So, there might be "many" that have
crashing issues, but there also are "many" without major problems in 4.4.5.
