From the 6.0.1 (which you seem to ignore) release notes:
Now that's 8 separate bugs - but note the bolded word - "including". They only include prominent bugs, that doesn't mean there is more, but it certainly does mean there may be more.
Also, this doesn't include the security side of the update - which for iOS 6.0.1 was (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5567).
I have an iPhone 5, iPad Mini and 3rd generation iPad and do not have any bugs on any of them. I also know 3 people with the iPhone 4S and one person with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Every device is running iOS 6.0.1/.2 and none of them have any bugs that need fixing.
Lol every iOS version is the same for each person. You just haven't had the misfortune to encounter anything significant yet. I've had loads of problems that require resets on all of my devices, and so has everyone else I know. Why just this afternoon my iPhone decided to display a really washed out screen to the point where I couldn't see the icons, and no it wasn't brightness either.
I hate to disappoint you, but I can tell you of at least one bug that affects every iOS 6 owner.
On the lock screen, album art isn't correctly displayed when playing music.
There are many more, but in an effort to avoid feeding the trolls who have hijacked the thread (and indeed this forum, in recent years) for the purposes of demonstrating their skills as keyboard ninjas, I'll refrain from listing them. A quick browse on Apple's forums will satisfy their needs, if they truly exist.
Agreed, however Apple has typically presented new Siri features as a part of new iOS releases (as if they were features of the OS itself).
With nothing new in betas everything (at least imo) is pointing to another language for Siri as a new major "feature" for iOS 6.1.
we need 6.1 because of the LTE for a dozen carriers out there pronto!
and we do need 7.0 because Scott's not there anymore and we do might need some jailbreak scene tweaks that could fix the 6.0 boringness plus with 7.0 the maps need to start being usable

I understand your point but it doesn't affect me. My devices may have that problem, but I do not really listen to music so it does not affect me as a user.
The beta 4 still has some bugs like out of bonds image on facetime, and sometimes when rotating the iPad the image just disappears.
I really hope that they have something up their sleeves.

I agree with you. Justnthoughtnid postntomletmyou know, since there are so many rude posts arguing with you.
It's an OS, it's not supposed to be fun, exciting or interesting, it's supposed to get out of the way and let you use your computer!
okay, people needs to stop saying this, it's getting old.
sure, an OS doesn't need to be fun, but how about some inconveniences of iOS? (no settings toggle, same old keyboard that's now a joke compared to other ones available on other platforms..etc)
Surely a company with 140 billion cash can do more than releasing a POS called iOS 6?
----------
beta 4 has some glitches in the music app, the song names dont update when playing songs within an album, though it only happens once in a while
Well that's like you haven't even read what I wrote. The problems you're describing aren't a matter of being fun or exciting, they're issues of functionality, which are exactly what I think OS updates should be about. I wasn't saying iOS shouldn't change, I was saying it shouldn't change for the sake of being fun, or interesting, or exciting, or for the sake of change, but of course it should change for the sake of improvement. It was people calling it boring, as if that were a bad thing, that I was taking issue with, not people calling it flawed. Kinda sounds like you agree with me.
And that is an example of the problems caused by making me hold my iPhone 5 uncomfortably in order to be able to reach the top with my thumb - I now keep hitting n and m when going for the space bar! I am holding it wrong, but they made me!
First of all, they are currently working on 6.1, NOT 7.0!
First of all, they are currently working on 6.1, NOT 7.0! Second of all, they gave us Apple Developer Program Members (Also known as the ADC Program) IOS 6.1 Beta 4 on December 17th, 2012, and it is set to Expire on 01/28/2013 @ 12:00 GMT Time Zone, which would leave all of us ADC Members having the choice of either Disobeying Apple's Rules and Downgrading to IOS 6.0.X through using Device Firmware Update Mode, or leave IOS 6.1 Beta 4 on our Devices and let them Go Into Recovery Mode Next Monday!

P.S. I can also assume that if they do have the GM Seed ready, that they are just simply NOT giving it to us ADC Members First is due to the fact that some Untrustworthy ADC Member is always Leaking the GM Seed to all of the Usual File Sharing Websites so as a Result they are planning to give us ADC Members the GM Seed at the same Time and Date that the General Public gets it.
Here's my take on it.
Before buying my iPhone 5, I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6. Save for the obvious hardware / component differences, I did experience a lot more bugs than past upgrades.
However once my iPhone 5 arrived, the amount of bugs and annoyances is very minimal. Other than the out of box scratches, my 5 has been quite good. Especially call clarity & speed of operations.
well the iPhone 5 had its fair share of bugs too
1. broken OTA
2. keyboard flickering
3. wifi drop
4. LTE data leak
5. album art misplacement in the lock screen
6. 'Purchased' section in the app store crashes (still happens...today
)Can't Wait
I think the next major update will be something big, something diffrent, I'm sure they're working hard on iOS7 so that it looks like something new to all users. by the end of January, iOS will be the oldest Operating System out there in the market once the BB10 is released so I dont think Apple will sit just like that with their hands on their cheeks.

Most likely the resent changes near the top of Apple's management has led to a change in direction of what is and isn't important to include in a point release.
I'm no expert on Mac., but sometime within the last 6 months I recall hearing one of the more experienced Mac. users chuckling about this, and pointing out that other JREs are about to become available for OS X in any case. Personally I wish that Sun had always insisted on supplying, and taking responsibility for, JREs on each platform that Java was intended to run on
I've had the screen issue since my 4S on iOS 5. I thought I was the only one to experience it. It's so weird! I have no idea what is causing it. Usually it happens when I try to wake my phone from the home button, it takes longer to respond and than it usually wakes to a super dim screen.
