I probably shouldn't bother replying to your flamebait, but I can't just let this foolish, uninformed rant go unanswered….

First, the labs version comes with ample warnings that it is not without issues, as it's the open source, testing, FREE version. If you want added stability, and better support (documentation, instructions, the whole lot..) you have to pay for the enterprise version, and they tell you this all over the place. You should be thinking of Labs as the 'Beta' version, and not a rock solid application, but again, they warn you of this.

I don't understand how anyone can complain that they have to do a little tweaking on a FREE system. And even more than that, I don't understand how anyone can think they're saving ANYTHING by going to SharePoint instead… It might not have these problems, but it's got problems, and with the price tag that comes with it, I'd expect it to hand me a hot towel whenever I signed in….
