After a few weeks of experimentation, I feel the IDL 8.1 GUI nearly as
unstable as IDL 8.0 's one was.
In addition to usual crashes during NG execution, I also could get IDL
crashing when interactively executing simple kernel functions. In the
latter case, the crash seems to occur on the next IDL statement after
the recovery from a previous incorrect (syntax or execute) statement.
My estimate is about one crash every ~4 hours of interactive session.
The result for the user is the sudden disappearance of IDL main window
and the loss of the whole session preceding the crash.
I am running both 32 and 64 bits versions of IDL 8.1 under various,
fully updated MS-Windows OS.
I wonder whether I am the only user to face this kind of problem !
alx.
For those interested, here is an excerpt of typical messages that I
could grab from IDL error logs ("C:\Documents and Settings\my_user_name
\IDLWorkspace81\.metadata\.log"), during my last IDL crash:

I really like the eclipse workbench from IDL7.1, I don't see why they
needed to change it again for IDL8.1 (didn't tried the new one yet, though)

This may only be anecdotal, but I've found that using software rendering has improved the stability of the workbench on my laptop (WinXP 64), even outside the context of using NG.
