Ashley, I'm not sure who you were replying to. In the bug report that I logged I attached a project with only 4 official plugins, no addons.
Also, you need to understand, that many developers are heavily relying on 3rd party addons in their projects. I am not saying that you should have tested them all of course. But it would be nice if you'd given us a heads up that many addons will stop working with the new release. I lost almost the entire day trying to find why all my projects are crashing.
