Why are updates always problematic?

Question

I'm a generally optimistic guy- when I see an update I imagine a better version of the product. But I'm being classically conditioned to now avoid these updates, because they have caused nothing but problems for me.  But why then would Adobe add features, yet make things that already work...stop working?
If it's not broken, don't break it! The latest version of Premiere pro CC A. loads the same initial audio file for each of my clips. and B. Now imports all clips "ungrouped" (I click a million times a day, I don't need any extra steps to an already tedious process). C. even if it all worked, it won't export to Media Encoder now either! With this new update, I CAN'T EDIT OR EXPORT MY PROJECTS! That's money off my table guys. And when I pay for a product, I expect it to produce. Don't You?  I'm just saying, or asking really, why can we not release updates that are bug free? Just fix and improve, and stop messing up what already works?  Because I've spent the last 4 hours, 4 HOURS, trying de-bug the latest Premiere Pro CC version, to no avail...then trying to roll back via forum instructions, to no avail...and now trying to install CS6 and then update to CC 7.1...which will probably not work either.  I should be editing right now, not battling application and code or waiting on previous version downloads long enough to make this complaint.  Why can't we get a bug free update?!!!!!  I do this for a living, and am generally patient and have learned to expect bumps along the road...but this is inexcusable.
Bug free updates, please please please , bug free updates.

Welcome to the forum, Rxb001.
Can you elaborate on the Problem A: same initial audio for each of your clips? If the audio in question happens to be from MXF clips, you might be hitting the issue discussed here (and elsewhere): If you're working with MXF content, then odds are you're hitting the issue that Wil discusses here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1358012?tstart=0
As to Issue B, "Imports all clips 'ungrouped'": Please check in the Timeline to see if Linked Selection button has been clicked off.
On the third, and presumably biggest, problem, the inability to export, we'll need more info if you'd like help troubleshooting it.
As to the larger issue you raise, we're painfully aware that the last few releases have introduced new bugs, and we're working to make improvements in our process to at least reduce those incidents. That said, I'm afraid bug-free updates are a pipe dream with complicated software that has to interface with a diverse world of hardware, plugins, codecs, etc. But we can do better, and we're striving to do so.
