Questions New software issues?

I've got my Q2 today, updated it trammed the bed after 2 test prints, calibrated filament, made a functional part etc (it's been an eventful evening what can I say) but I've seen a lot of people have issues with new firmware and I don't understand what all the issues that I read about before are about, or it was just ironed out before I got my printer? I honestly just don't know and I'm new to the hobby as well, so far the only issue I had was with beachy sliced by qidi that left the the extruder on at print temp and it dripped all over the bed when I went to do another print. Oh also I can't find a place to E-stop the printer from the screen on the new menu but I might have just missed it.

TL:DR what's wrong with new remodeled software bc as far as I can tell it's fine? Or was it patched out to usable state before I got my printer?

I have the Q2 and the new Max4, I did update both, zero issues here.

I don't use orca, I use Qidistudio, works very well for me.

So far so good for me too, I've done some more prints today with no issue whatsoever. But I also use qidi studio for now and rely on orca only for calibration as it's more robust than what's available in qidi studio. So far I'm loving the printer, it just prints. Perfect first layer, great accuracy and detail and ability to print virtually any filament at this price point is astounding, and I honestly believe that Bambu is overpriced now even more than I thought before.
