No, it also depends what is going on in the background which is entirely in Apple's control. 

thanks for the video. so after a week of working on a new file, i reopened the file where guides didn't work. a large file with about 10 artboards. i could not repeat the problem that previously occurred on many occasions. I know, it's odd and frustrating. the bug disappeared, or is it hiding hibernating? so guides are now working...if it happens again I'll start recording immediately before bug escapes again. sorry for the inconvenience, it's a bug's life.
I would like to point out that being able to set guide to a fixed angle would be nice...

1.8.2 -> 1.8.3 cycle has been the first release which has been done entirely while working from home. We appreciate your thoughts.

Hi,
TLDR; Just because we haven't fixed your issues yet, doesn't mean we're not working hard and fixing important bugs.
I'm genuinely very sorry that you've been impacted by these issues that affect your productivity and I really do apologise that they have clouded your enjoyment of the product to such a large degree. No reported bugs are ever forgotten, nor are they ignored. They will be fixed as soon as we can get to them. As you're aware, these issues haven't been addressed yet and they are important for your use-case. I know I'm probably asking the impossible, but do also consider that there were other issues that may have been similarly adversely affecting users in other areas of the application and that we have been fixing all of these issues as quickly as we can.
Again, I know my apologies will go no way towards making you feel better, but you have them anyway - and also my reassurance that the issues will get tended to.
Many thanks,Matt

Thanks for listening, and thanks for your answer. AD is my main design tool, I use it on a daily basis. I'm a big advocate of it among fellow designers, and I've already produced hundreds (thousands?) of work files with it. So I'm not going anywhere soon  But I feel it's important to know whether these showstoppers will be addressed or not (and when), but I'm not seeing any answers.
Please look here for more thoughts.
Thanks again.

To this date. Problem still occurring. Constrains Group graphic becomes invisible on art board. Frustrating when you are a newbie with AD for iPad. Please resolve this problem. Thank you!

This is getting old... I secretly hoped they would fix constraints for 1.7.

when rulers arrive, might the user be able to set where the zero point is..in the case where you need the origin to be other than the top left corner of the document or art board?
 
thank you 

Just wanted to add, rulers would be a huge plus to my workflow.
