what is the difference between 3.6.25 and the latest ones like 9.0.1

I'm not sure I understand the difference between the 3.6 versions and the much newer 9.0.1 version. I have much more trouble with this newer version--in fact had to uninstall it because it kept crashing. I understand that there are more bells and whistles, but what's the advantage of the newer ones over this old reliable version?

OK, that gives me all the propaganda, but why does it crash all the time? I went back to 8.0.1 and have no problems at all. That is a rhetorical question because I don't think they know yet. I love the internet, but these upgrades seem to come out before they really have all the bugs cleaned out.

Thanks for the reply.

BTW: I realized very quickly that you can't go back as far as 3.6 versions!
