NT was very stable, but the UX was a bit (much more) clunky prior to Win2k.  There were bits taken from a lot of places that landed in NT, though given the early cross platform nature of NT, a lot was rewritten. If you watch Dave's Garage on YouTube, he goes into a bit of it from his experience in a lot of videos.
