I heard they redesigned the gui with Qt since 12.0, and since Qt is portable across platforms it should much stable compared to before 12 release. I use Windows 7 and seems pretty stable except for some stability issues related to while running signaltap/nios debug. I was not able to use on my linux machine since I have a USB dongle (sentinel) for my subscription key and never got the drivers to work with my Ubuntu. So I would say windows for a better experience.

Here I am only talking about the usex of the tool in windows, not performance.
