I think whether or not it's a good idea to launch has to do with what those bugs are. The number of bugs is pretty much irrelevant.

Good point. So, more accurately, don't let the fear that their just might be undiscovered small bugs prevent you from launching.

Not just undiscovered bugs but non-critical bugs. If it doesn't cause data corruption then I say launch and fix it later.

Fixing that bug is probably less valuable than getting the feature into the hands of users.

Also, don't stress about "losing" users. There are plenty of users and you'll be surprised how forgiving your users will be if you're open about bugs and fixing them.

Agreed. It's better to just get the product out there.

Yeah, you probably want to avoid privacy related bugs, or bugs that allow people to steal credit card numbers or passwords.
