No, they've alternated between good and bad ever since 98.
98 - good
ME - bad
XP - good
Vista - bad
7 - good
8 - bad
10 - good (eventually)
11 - bad
ME wasn't that bad. I think I just got lucky in terms of stability?
It just was not much different to 98 and had less good UI
Windows ME was a crapshoot. One of our computers blue screened a few times during the couple months we had it installed; the other couldn't even run an hour without hard crashing.
Nowadays I can't even remember the last time Windows crashed. Newer versions are definitely a lot more stable, though suck in different ways.
The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I've only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.
