the latest A7 isn't buggy. well, everything has bugs, but it's no buggier than A6 (or at least not by much). it works flawlessly for me, because i know how to use it.
there's a difference between buggy software and deprecated tutorials.
your problem is probably deprecated tutorials.
download the free version of lite-C and get used to that (it should come with a workshop, or there's one on the download page next to it), then popping into A7 will be no trouble when you're ready for it and a newer (perhaps more stable) version is out.

You can say A7 is easy all you like, it maybe. But the reson i dont give it a chance is because it refuses to render animated textures, telling me "there is no visable blocks on the map"
almost all problems people have are their own fault. i hope you've been asking about this in the level-editing forum, with screenshots and more info. too many times people talk about problems they have and don't give enough information regarding it.
