I've been using Glade 3.4.1 for some time now, it only crashed once or
twice. That's a whole lot less often than Glade 2 did. The undo/redo
feature is also very useful, I often wished I had had it in version 2. A
little annoyance is that sometimes property entry fields (like the
widget name) don't get updated when they lose focus, but you can work
around that by activating the entry before leaving it (press Enter). The
widget selection and some commands like "Insert Before" / "Insert After"
for GtkBoxes seem to be buggy.

All in all, Glade 3 works much better than Glade 2 and I recommend using
it especially when you're new to it.

If glade hangs while loading the XML, it might be an even older version.
IIRC there is a conversion tool. Glade's XML parser is not very
fault-tolerant it seems...
