I guess you've not tried to make significant use of interfaces? In a week of
gpl2006 usage I've hit three bugs there.

On the other hand, dot notation for tagged objects seems much more robust,
not a single quirk for now (whereas 2005 was plagued).

I had (as noted in another thread) very bad experiences with 3.15p for
windows because of a single hidden bug so, in comparison, bugs that blow
right in your face don't bother me that much.

Apart from that, I'd say that gnat is getting better and better fast with
each release, and now that Ada05 is being frozen I bet in few time the gcc
branch will get really interesting.
