Incidentally, I can also tell you why Vue crashes a lot for me, and it's nothing to do with doing things quickly. It's because Vue leaches a chunk of resources with every operation, the size of the loss varying with the complexity of the scene. Thus, with a scene containing more than one hi-res figure, with some hi-res textures, you may have at most 30 operations before Vue inexorably crashes. These operations can be anything, moving an object, moving the camera, even deleting an object loses you resources. And this is even with undo limited to one (the minimum).

So it becomes a game of trying to guess how long you can last before you have to close Vue, start it again and reload your work. Hang on too long and it crashes. It's like playing "chicken".

I have NEVER NEVER had to use any other program that behaved in this way.

Another frequent source of crashes is the material editor, especially applying a texture node (bitmap) in the function editor. I always save before attempting this.
