I think aside from the obvious "people without glitches are too busy playing to post about their lack of problems" explanation, there's also the fact that when someone says "My game keeps crashing," "It works fine for me" is a singularly unhelpful response.
I have no doubt there are at lot of problems and that these are partly the inherent result of the game itself. But for statistics' sake, I would like to add that I have few problems. Just a rare crash ever so often.
I admit that I am having fewer crashes since the latest patch, the bug with map markers was fixed, etc.
It's a start but that doesn't excuse the poor quality of the release. 13 people working for a year, plus dozens more community members, all to integrate a bunch of mods, improve the UI and update the engine... and we get an amateurish product that's riddled with issues. It shouldn't have happened.
My game runs just fine. I did have to turn off some things through my graphics card control program to clean up some minor graphical glitches, but other than that it has worked just fine.

Yeah, thank goodness one of two computers I own runs the game. If all I owned was the computer that is crashing the game I would be even more annoyed (beyond being unable to play) to read those sorts of comments.
I've had almost no issues. As Minsc says, "the squeaky wheel gets the kick." Essentially, those whining do so loudly. Those playing are playing. Guess who has more time on their hands?
Honestly, it's not anywhere near as broken as some will claim. For those with serious issues, it sucks, but will pass. This is a group of pros and they'll fight issues to resolution. They love the game as much as we do and want it to be as awesome as it can.
Youre not alone, bar one crash and one rather amusing bug (apparently from the original game) i haven't had anything major happen, I am loving my experience and i come here to the forums when at work to share and learn about the game but all i see is flaming, trolls and all manner of beasties... like others have said no game has or will be free of a subset of players who have major technical issues but sadly the default state in 2012 for forums, whether it is movies or games, is to fill them so full of vileness and negativity that i am amazed any creative people try their hand to make any form of art.
the truth is, as always, most people are playing the game, all others troll because it makes them feel powerful, if only in their own head
Crashed.... Two or three times at non-critical points when I was changing windows back and forth. Never felt unconfident enough to not use the quicksave feature as my primary save slot, never had it stutter or act out.
Of course, in-game glitches like getting to kill Razamith and his Nymph twice? I actually find those hilariously enjoyable, but I'm a bad man who doesn't like reporting bugs.
