HI Bernd,
I fully agree with you, 
even on the fact of the versions installed and to be used for productivity 
(I've installed all concomitant versions available for a single machine, and
I use them almost every day)... 
the fact is that every time I write about freezes  or general malfunctions
(here or in QGIS issues) 
I seem to be the only one to be affected (or we are in very few users to
observe and report these anomalies) ...

Greetings
unfortunately it is often difficult to communicate remotely ... 
we should have a developer sitting next to prove that the software often 
does not run as it should and you would expect
