That would be slightly relevant if the only users of Cura were Ultimaker owners, and if what they released meant people could not use their printers !. Two points there, the vast majority of Cura users I bet aren’t only Ultimaker owners, and lets be honest, the only issue is here that (some ) people cannot use one version of Cura. It’s not like 3.4.1 doesn’t work !. There are some great additions in 3.5 but it’s not like 3.4.1 wasn’t useable !, far from it.
Agree the software shouldn’t have bugs in it but UM are aware of this better than anyone and are fixing it.
Ultimaker 2+ owners should be a lot more upset by the firmware which still hasn’t been fixed to correct the fact the material gets rammed into the hot end every time you change material !. I am a lot more concerned about a fix for this. Tbh I don’t get the stress over this issue when UM have acknowledge and are working on it !.
Now UM team please release the 3.5 firmware for the 2+ ?
This is a Ultimaker forum and the Ultimaker printer is sold with “Ultimaker” Cura and as interesting as issues with other printers maybe; I don’t care.
As I recall; Cura used to have a Ultimaker Cura version and the Cura version. The idea being that the Ultimaker Cura version likely did not have all the latest tweaks because it was the throughly tested version and if you have wanted them you had to use the Cura version and effectively become part of the beta program; this appears to have changed.
As shared by others; I did not purchase a mechanical box referred to as an S5 but rather a printer with Ultimaker Cura as the operating system.
Your comment makes no sense; it was akin to one purchasing a laptop and with Windows and told but use can use Linx or?
The fact that the printer was sold with Cura as the operating system is all that is being discussed.
Lastly; you are correct. Ultimaker Cura 3.4.1 seems to work fine this too is not the issue; the issue is we were encouraged; infact directed to upgrade to Ultimaker Cura 3.5 and then after a lengthy process of dealing with the issues opted to go back to Ultimaker Cura 3.4.1.
Ultimaker should be telling everyone to roll back, remove access to 3.5, and aggressively working with the developers to fix the program.
You “don’t” seem to be troubled by the fact that many, including myself, were presented with a mess but rather, you are trouble because we express our frustration based on “realistic” expectations and solicitation by Ultimaker.
For what it’s worth; if the S5 had been presented with Ultimaker Cura 3.5 rather than Ultimaker Cura 3.4.1 there is no doubt that we would have sent it back however, it is because we had great success with Ultimaker Cura 3.4.1 that this was never considered. Ultimaker Cura 3.5 reminds me of all the BS we dealt with for years; effectively a undependable novelty item that has no place in our business.
Having shared all this; I do respect your opinion even though I find them illplaceed and odd.

I agree. If Ultimaker only made consumer grade printers, the bugs and inconveniences would be more tolerable. But not for pro gear like the S5. Perhaps they do need a pro version and an open/consumer version.
