That's nice. So my hope for an update that fixes the numerous bugs in AE 7 is completely dead…

Maybe you could start a thread on the AE-list to get your pressing concerns addressed in bug fix dot release that usually happens a few months after the main release. It could benefit a lot of people, depending on what's fixed and what's newly broken.
