Padre Still Crashes on Debian Linux
The linked post was written in 2012 explaining what I think most users of Padre encounter, and therefore I won’t repeat anything already nicely documented there except to quote “And please do not feed me a junk line about it works on my Linux distribution, I do not care. Pretend I am a normal end user for a moment. If I install a piece of software and it crashes repeatedly I simply switch to another application. I am not compelled to try and fix it or figure out what is going on, I am not invested in it as a first time user.”

And instead of adding one more comment to the long list, which no one will see, this post is just to evidence that in November of 2015, Padre IDE still crashes frequently enough to make it unusable. No one wants to loose their work suddenly and frequently. And no Auto-Save.
