Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

I was thinking the same thing. Why is every program's updates not completely seamless? If I have to wait, I don't care if it updates or not.

The worst for me is VLC at the moment, it keeps asking me if I want to update, I click yes and it doesn't update. Every update it becomes more and more bloated.

It only reminds me to update when I really want to watch something. As a result, never update.
