Is very stable.
Trunk and 3.0.0 compilers, on the other hand, crash with internal errors trying to build my project (I reported many a bug). It seems that that was fixed in 3.0.2 but I want to be ABSOLUTELY sure when something crashes it's a problem in my mindscrewy code, not in the compiler or RTL.
I had very bad experience of spending several months on difficult debugging and practically had my project die due to my confidence failing -- all because of a faulty tool causing random *unrelated* crashes.
Let's say I would be boasting the first multi-threaded first-person shooter for DOS in human history (made in 1998 ) if not for that faulty piece of excrement. It killed my motivation.
Since then I ONLY use stable tools. So, until the managers of Debian Stable say it's okay by raising its FPC over 2.6.4... Just no.
I carefully prepare my code to move over to 3.0.x and periodically test if it compiles, of course, but not yet.
