At the time of writing:

Ansible has 3391 open bugs[1] (and ~master is often used in production).
Python has more than 6000, 2000+ with patches[2].
GCC (C and C++ components only) has 3119[3].

Bugs are part of software. That's just life. It doesn't mean the software 
is unreliable/unusable, just that it can be better.
