I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't know if "79% of 144
respondents agree that NetBeans 6.7 Release Candidate is stable enough
to be shipped" is exactly a ringing endorsement (which RC, anyway?).

There have been dramatic improvements since RC1, and even my "pet peeve"
bug was just fixed in dev branch (I am hoping it will make it to 6.7):

Developers are doing the right thing by not releasing yet.  When we have
what we really think is the final RC, we should repeat the survey ("The
NetBeans developers have listened, and here is the result: now what do
you think?").  Then we will have higher numbers and it will look better
in the news.
