I know, I am many times too but also continue. 
Try to realise, just as me, there are already so many with success.

As Rob once told me, it is alfa,beta etc.  
If it below 1.0 it is always a develop tool and not production stable. 

I was also yelling, few times, but it is most a combination of all components 
your machine is providing making the troubles. 
I never had feeling Gambas sux.
See my curl story, for sure it was not the fault of gambas but what SuSE has 
in the distribution and upgrades for that version (8.2). 

Maybe the developer of the Net component did use a to new version instead a 
more common one but he want to make a best one, and that  requires sometimes 
the last one. With respect to that it is forgiven so I can't use the net.curl 
part now. :-(

Overall I belive Gambas is good and it works for me safer with less crashes,
as i.e. hbasic witch has a nice look as VB, has many features, but to 
complex , buttons and menu entries, for usage by starters and they mostly 
don't need this in the beginning. 
I mean with starters the usage of the program and not programming, that is 
another fact.

A letter to you grandma in Notepad is more easy then M$ Word with all bells 
and wishels for only linux users starting on Fensters,Doors or Mac. 
Learn to walk first and later skating with your legs.

If you get a error message you can do the same as me. 
Put the gambas directory in the gambas/share folder and start it as a project. 
Try to find the place and a solution, in the error box there is a line and 
module name if you are lucky. 
Place here what you found as possible bug, suggest a solution and wait.

BTW You can find in this project solutions for problems in you own project to.
Really it is a very big example and you can lost your way to find it but also 
get valuable ideas or copy some code of it to your own project.
For starters it can be difficult but sometimes the developer can oversee some 
simple possible bug's, See of my last Bug: FEditor report i.e.

Good luck,
Ron
