I'm not knocking it for an indy release, but to say that it puts commercial companies to shame is just ridiculous - if bugs can be discovered and fixed this quickly with the limited resources then there's no reason to expect they would be at all present in a commercial game, or that if they were people would scream about the lack of polish and/or deliberate post release content holding back - see the arguments against DLC for example.
To allow the guy some slack is absolutely fine - I'm for that as well, but to claim it's somehow better than a commercial release because of the multitude of quick to discover/fix bugs and features is just daft.
I agree that it is ridiculess that it puts commercial companies to shame, but that's the way it is with most commercial PC games being released. They are much less finished and complete than this game, and take much longer to release any patches. Their are exceptions like most Blizzard games for example..... they keep releasing both gameplay improvement and fixes in a steady stream after most releases.
