A lot of us do not think that thread is a joke and we wish many of those issues or bugs or whatever you wish to call them would be addressed in the software!

Maybe you failed to read the very last post in that thread?

Oh, Save and Save As. Do you know what Save As is for? It works as it should and is different from Save. Calling that a bug when apparantly you don't understand this basic Windows function is ridiculous.

Not sure about this item from that post but I can tell you two ways in which the Save/SaveAs functionality is buggy!

First, things that are stored with a song when you save are supposed to trigger a Save/SaveAs when you have made changes and then try to quit or open a new song. But the mixer settings fail to trigger that warning. So you can save your song and then change mixer settings and close BIAB without getting a warning. That is about as clear a bug as I could think of!

Second, in Windows, when you have saved a file, subsequently made changes and then try to close that file you are supposed to get a warning. BIAB does this so so far so good. But, if you accept the warning by saying you do wish to save, the system is supposed to then save the file without further warnings just as if you had hit the Save button. But this is where BIAB does not follow the well established Windows convention. Instead it throws a SaveAs dialog which is wrong. And ,of course, when you try to save the file with the same name (as you ALWAYS do in a Save request), BIAB recognizes that the file already exists and prompts you to save as a new file! Confusing and annoying and...a bug!
