Play is trouble free these days.  Kontakt is not trouble free....nothing is... I feel they are comprable in terms of stability.  Scripting?  Kontakt hands down.

I'm just not willing to bother with Play anymore. I had lots of people tell me it was fixed many times, lots of advice offered, a fair bit of it bad, and I just kept having problems. When Play 4 came out and still had issues, I finally just gave up. Maybe I'm just unlucky, maybe I am doing something wrong. All I know is it had tons of problems, mostly related to glitches when bouncing tracks, and Kontakt does not. Neither do any of my other soft synths, for that matter, Kontakt is just the one that has replaced Play.

I use Play with ProDrummer and find the load times incredibly slow. kontakt and every major drum engine that I have used let you at least play while the samples are loading.

This is where I'd like to have an SSD for these libraries...then they load pretty fast...
but that WAY down the priority list right now...

Their stuff does load all kinds of slow. Part of the issue is they don't use sample compression. Not sure why, everyone has gotten on that bandwagon these days and there are free algorithms out there, but they don't. That aside, it just loads slow. Not as slow as it used to, but still slow :P.
