When it comes to tools you rely on to do day-to-day development "Always up-to-date" is, at best, a very debatable advantage if looked at from the point of view as the user and not the developer of the tool.

As a for-example, the initial Visual Studio .NET IDE releases were horrible and most people I know who did Windows development in that time-frame stayed on VS6 for quite a long time after it was officially obsolete.
