The developers have taken a program that was stable and turned it into a very unstable program that crashes all the time.
Bitcoin Core NEVER crashed on me until I installed 0.10.+, now I've had dozens of crashes. Once again it's crashed so hard I probably have to rebuild the blockchain... which is a waste of time since it will crash again.
Time for new developers, whoever was involved in making this is hurting the community.

I thought about downgrading too. V0.1 is a piece of shit. Starting up the wallet takes about 8 to 20 times as much time as the old version.
Also crashes on me when i close it. Block indexing makes troubles. Think in some setups it could be even worse.
Turned into a shitcoin-wallet.
Oh yeah, extremely unstable. Using up 100% cpu? And gobbling up all RAM?
My VM running bitcoind. Yep, a VM. Not even a full physical computer, only 8GB RAM, no dedicated SSD, shared with other VMs on the same host. Upgraded about a week ago, have been running through all the stress testing, never a blip. And yes, I run a wallet as well.

Y'all are probably having physical machine issues. Or, you messed something up in the upgrade. There's zero wrong with core itself.
