  Not completely. 3.0a would randomly crash Windows while painting windows. It was virtually impossible to reproduce in a small app, but nailed me about 25% of the time on the windows that I was working on at the time. Fortunately, things have gotten much better with 3b on.   Now, if they'd just fix it so objects COULD be reliably regenerated, I'd be much happier.
