Nobody says anything on the list unless they have a problem, while the
people for whom everything works are too busy doing actual work to write
to the list, so the reports of problems may be exaggerated.

I make Paraview crash all the time, but I have to try really hard. I try
to use too few nodes, to process too much data, with techniques that are
still in development. After all that, Paraview still crashes the least
of any application I tried for my tasks.

I say try Paraview If a particular technique seems lacking, push to have
tests added to the nightly tests. I know 'test' is a dirty word in QA
land, but literally every change in the code is checked.
