I guess I'm one of those people who tells my friends that KiCAD is "much better now". Bear in mind that this is a comparison to oh, five years ago, when it would crash roughly as often as OrCAD... EEs are accustomed to buggy tools that crash at inopportune moments, so to be clear, I think KiCAD is doing quite well.

I do stick to using it on Windows though. If the situation on the Mac is as bad as you say, perhaps they should drop their OSX claim until that gets fixed.
