Which I don't think is the case, 1.7.2 has its share of bugs and oddities as well, with the downside that nobody's working on fixing those, all effort is already going to 2.0.
I'm quite sure that everything you can do now with 1.7.2, you can also do with today's 2.0 rev. With the added bonus that some 1.7.2 issues might be fixed.[/quote]

This is true, I have fixed several 1.7.2 bugs that are now in the 2.0 core but nobody can test every library for everything. Generally CI 2.0 has been stable for months as remember EE 2.0 is running it, but there are some lesser used features that have since broken and many of the new features in 2.0 are not working 100%.

If you take your 1.7.2 app and run it in 2.0 it will generally work fine (PyroCMS is a perfect example) but there is far less support structure for 2.0 and if you Google for a problem you are much more likely to find an answer using 1.7.2, stable or not.

Hopefully my blathering makes sense. Basically, 2.0 is pretty good and pretty stable, but if you aren't comfortable debugging strange issues stick with 1.7.2 for now. :-)
