I can understand that when working with old(er) hardware. In my case I'm using
a fairly newer gaming rig where code bloat really doesn't make any difference
in performance, at least humanly noticeable. So as long as updates actually
work, I have no problem updating them.

Why so many disappointments? There's always the turn of cheek method where you
can just not look at this stuff for like 10 months like I just did. ;)

What plights are you having?

What are you looking for a decent replacement for, or what are you currently
using?

What have you looked at so far? And what did you *not* like about them?

Seems to do the trick, albeit only temporarily. ;)
