Judge for yourself.  apE was originally developed for SUN and SGI machines,
and we've ported it to a variety of other machines.  Most vendors have provided
support (in the form of loaners or donations); HP did not and that probably 
contributes to the "buggier" complaint.  Most of the bugs are in particular X 
servers; even the HP version is fine if displayed on the (for example) SUN
server.
