Bill's last job was a Walmart greeter. He wasn't there long because he kept asking everybody why they weren't shopping at Target 
If you are looking for accuracy, there are a few things that you should know. As was mentioned, it has been taking a LONG time for them to fix 'bugs'.
Also, Intuit won't program things according to 'official' guidance, such as the law and Regulations. They wait until there is a Form or Publication. For example, Lacerte refused to change the charitable limitation to 60% (from 50%) until about a month or so ago. It became law in December 2017, but they refused to update it until the Publication came out in March 2019.
There is a LONG list of "unsupported calculations" that they admit the program won't do. The list keeps growing because as we point out things it doesn't do or does wrong, they often just add it to the list of Unsupported Calculations (rather than making the program actually do that function).
As for the developers general attitude towards accuracy, it sucks. Well, I guess I should say it sucks and/or management won't let them do what should be done. I'm more jaded than most people here because I see A LOT of the problems via the TurboTax lounge. There are literally COUNTLESS errors in TurboTax, and there are COUNTLESS times the developers refuse to fix the problem. While ProSeries has fewer of those problems, both TurboTax and ProSeries use the same 'engine', so if one has a calculation error, 99% of the time both programs have that error. But from my perspective (and ever other 'SuperUser' at the TurboTax forum), it is EXTREMELY obvious that the developers at Intuit are clueless and/or don't give a
As I said before, the program was good, but don't expect anything more from Intuit that what you see now.
Out of curiosity, what are some of the accuracy problems that Drake has?
