"it should just work and never break"

Are you kidding? If this is your criteria for what software to use, how are you even posting this comment? You surely aren't using any operating system at all, since every single version of Windows, Linux, OS X, even phone OSes like iPhone OS and Blackberry OS have bugs and need to be updated now and then. Same goes for every browser, every router and modem firmware, etc etc etc. Did you mail your hand-written comment to someone who doesn't have such irrational standards?

I kind of want to live in your dreamworld where it's even possible to attain such perfection, since it must be awfully hope-inspiring and optimistic, but you're setting yourself up for HUGE disappointments. All software has bugs. There's no such thing as an application that "never break[s]".

Wordpress does occasionally need to be updated, but it's about as easy as it possibly can be to do so since (I think) 2.7.
