Angry rant excised.
Geez man, it sounds like you need to dump Live and stick with the 100% working other software you refer to. And maybe take an anger management class while you're at it. Since all you're doing now is raging.
The other thing I never see discussed is Mac vs Windows bugs. Maybe the code base is neutral enough between the platforms, but just scanning over this huge thread it seems most of the time people are raging they're Mac users. Is that at all accurate or am I just badly biased.
For my part, 8.1.1 is faster to load and more solid than other 8.x.x's I've used, but I am diffident to report since I'm just a hobbyhist, and not a professional relying on Live's stability in order to pay my rent.
I have my nervousness about feature bloat (since the entire kitchen sink of devices and controller support is all in one giant application) but even considering that it runs very snappily for me. Every time live has a major upgrade I've argued with myself whether I really need it, but have ended up buying each one since v2.
YMMV. Take a deep breath and a walk around the block before posting.
