Vegas Pro....How many crashes a day is too many? Am I done with Vegas?

I think Vegas Pro (19) has the easiest, most intuitive interface out there....but I think I need to say...... I'm done with Vegas. All the crashing. On a slower computer Resolve works MUCH smoother. Crashing in pro 10 - pro 19. Magix needs to rebuild the software or just give up...because there are issues that can't seem to be resolved. That's why I'm forced into Resolve! There are 100's reasons why Vegas will crash. Version 10 crashed less than 19...and I have a very fast computer/video card/tons of ram....it's not the configuration. Unacceptable at this point. The support is lame and the software is unusable at this point. I love the interface....but bottom line. It's flawed and a waste of time. I'd like someone to convince me why to stick with Magix (I've used Samplitude for recording music and still do...since 2002) But Vegas is a headache times six. Resolve seems ridiculously complicated, and I really would have Vegas just work for one project without crashing. It's has....but then the next one. Of course there will be many who say "I never had a crash yet".....well...you are lucky....you can read the threads or the videos on youtube of people complaining. To pay a subscription for this. I don't think so.
What SAY YOU?

@popfizz

For full support you'll need to purchase the Studio version which also enabled features and codecs that you will want. Support even then is hit and miss depending upon the agent that you get. Otherwise, you can get great support through the web discussion forums. Much like here on the Vegas website. I would definitely start using version 18.5 and not the 18.6 versions.

In addition all NLEs are like tools. Each has its own set of issues and deficiencies. Resolve for instance is very limited on panel movement or arrangement. You may also find that the video and audio codec support is limited. Finally, the options and editing concept are complex for the casual or content creators. While everyone is entitled to their comments, let's quit editorializing and move on to the tool that works best for us

I didn't realize there was no support from Magix unless you use the subscription plan.

Did something change? I used Edit and got support via help tickets. I think there's also chat support. No phone unfortunately.

@popfizz For your information, Magix Vegas has NOT fallen through any cracks, quite the opposite is currently happening and been happening within the offices of the development team, whether you believe or not...However it is perfectly ok for you to share and express your current frustrations with Vegas Pro, no software is perfect, and nothing is wrong running both Davinci Resolve and Vegas on your system to satisfy your editing workflow....
