Yep, definitely. But I didn't mentioned it because of severe instability. We had a relatively big project with character animations, done in R23. The tools were great, but otherwise the project was an absolut nightmare. Constant crashes, all-day-long. And we where already animating in small parts, baking what-possible in alembic files, to get the stuff rendered.
And I don't need - I don't WANT - releases every half a year (especially if they change lot's of good stuff without reason to the bad). Why should I? Give me stability upgrades all-year-long, and make a release, when it's worth it.
