VDJ 4 has been decent for me, and has resolved most of the big issues with 3.4. There are some significant issues I have with it though, as far as stability goes:
1. Turning Video FX (especially sonique visualizations) on or off causes a program crash about 1/3 of the time. Sadly, I have had to stop using visualizations, and instead switch to a DVD player running ambient video. I can live with this... for now.
2. On a couple of occasions I've had a deck not want to play audio through it, and have had to restart the program to get it working again. Weird, and rare problem.
3. Some computers I use have poor audio with V4 - by this I mean that you can't entirely get rid of all the pops and crackles. Perhaps it doesn't get along with M-Audio cards? It's tough to hear it on a noisy dancefloor, and is tolerable, but it sure annoys me when listening to it with headphones in a quiet room.
If these things are fixed, then the dev team can hopefully start enhancing the program and adding new features. But basically, as long as I don't use visualizations, things work pretty good. I can work around (or tolerate) the other things for now, since there really isn't a better option, in my opinion.
