"experimental" and "unstable" by many. I worry that until 1.0, the app will languish, not attracting the user base or developer base it deserves.. Companies won't trust it, and Ubuntu probably won't bundle it for example.
Version numbers are pretty much useless as an indicator of open source quality. I can't count how many hunk-o-junk open source apps I've tried with version numbers 1.x or 2.x. And at the same time many of the things I use all the time have versions of 0.x. The version number means very little in the open source world.
