Wasn't that the first beta release of insider? I thought they fixed inode support

They did.

My point was that I just don't want to encounter bugs. When I run Linux, I get Linux. I already have it installed and I know how it works. I don't want to take the chance of a bug breaking my development workflow.

You purposefully installed a pre-release version in which they heavily mentioned there would be major bugs and other unfinished things in it.

I'm not sure what you expected here but unless you're talking about the release version I don't think you're being fair at all.

What an awful response. If that's the problem you have then the solution is that you don't run beta software. You're not really making a sensible point by citing bugs in explicitly-marked-as-beta software as a reason to avoid release software that has already fixed those bugs. I would give the final version a try before complaining about nonexistent bugs.

That's exactly what he said, that in order to not encounter bugs he stopped using the software.
