Jiust as a point-of-reference, I'm a pretty long-time user of Haiku (:-/)
and I can't remember that last time -- if ever -- that the *kernel*
crashed out on me.
Driver add-ons, yes, sometimes. In particular the MIDI-USB one has
a certain crash if I send a packet before boot has finished. [And as
I'm partially responsible for that code, I'd better look into it sometime!]
Otherwise, apps crash on me a bit more than maybe they should.
All the web browsers sometimes crash on exit, as does Sequitur.
Work-destroying crashes are very rare.
