Never. Any piece of non-trivial software will always have bugs in it. It's companies that never patch their software that need avoiding.

They've had flawed software unpatched for 18 months. They just issued Java v10 and there are already exploits for it.

Admittedly Java is a target because it gives malware writers a much broader platform to attack, but given that, they should be more attentive to fixing holes than they are.
