It really depends on the domain:
Among consumer facing web-technologies, there's definitely a compelling argument in favor of shipping fast. Shipping fast lets you iterate quickly based on lots of small pieces of feedback. This is a really effective way to build something that fits your users' needs.
In other domains, however, it may make a lot less sense to ship things rapidly. For example, in science and medical domains, it becomes important to validate carefully everything that you are shipping before you ship, because your audience has no tolerance for rough edges. Those audiences tend to be less willing to adopt half-baked/non-turnkey products as well, so first impressions count more.
I think you should think hard about who your audience is and how they will perceive your product before trying to ship things aggressively or patiently.
