Yes, you're right, it would be more useful if it passed the bug report
to the developer of the application (rather than just Apple). But
even so, it's hardly "a stupid move", especially as the majority of
people won't file bugs unless prompted (even developers like Ambroise
;->).
I'm curious now as to how useful these built-in bug reporting
mechanisms have been for others. I put them into most of my programs a
few years ago, and from memory didn't get more than two or three
reports (over two years). In fake, most people still emailed me the
old fashioned way, even knowing of the new facility. Does this cold
reception sound familiar to anyone else?
Personally, I always file a bug report if I think it will be well
received. I would have thought there would be others out there with
similar sentiments, but apparently not. That, or my software was all
bug free - which of course it wasn't. But people don't even seem to
bother trying to reporting a bug once, let alone over and over.

P.S. Example - Mail just deleted the cc address for absolutely no
reason other than I selected it. If there were a button here to report
a bug, I might be tempted to click it, even though I know Apple will
most certainly ignore it. Does no one else have such an irrational
craving for bug reporting?
