It's all code in the end. Whether it is BIOS, driver or Sonar or windows. What matters is how well the code is written, the weakest is what always let's you down. As consumers you are left guessing as you don't have access to the source, and even then it would be meaningless to most. And even then most consumers have less expertise than a developer.We are forever on their trust. So all we rely on is stats and feedback.

...some previous files wouldn't open at all...
...when I say doesn't open, what I mean is that sonar just "hangs" and does nothing...

 
Sometimes when I open an old project file, I get a plugin-related dialog box diplaying the message "Error loading guiBitmap". This dialog box alway appears underneath the main Sonar window and is therefore invisible. It won't progress until you click OK. But if you don't realise that it's there, you are misled into thinking that Sonar has frozen.

Very good point, this type of issue has caught me with more than one program. The taskbar will show whatever dialog boxes are open, and you can click on the little thumbnail to bring the box to the front.
