Windows 8 was pretty stable on a lot of people's computers, too. So was Vista. I know people who swore by Windows Millennium.
As someone who has done development in the Windows 10 environment, I cannot describe an operating system that breaks its own core functions after updates to be stable. If you want to run sysprep on a new build for mass deployment, make sure you don't allow upgrades first. Likewise an environment where quality control has regressed to the point that software only has to reach demo mode before it gets shipped.
Microsoft may be getting bolder in its quest for new technologies and features, but sacrificing what little stability it had in the process isn't a smart move. It's no wonder they have to force businesses to abandon Windows 7 by ending support since developers know what unnecessary headaches are in store for them once they commit to upgrading.

Fair enough.
