C'mon! I have some experience doing open source development and if I
learned one thing from that, it would be that I am not allowed to
complain, while the users are born with this right :-)
There are different categories of users too. Certainly there are
troll whose only purpose in life is to complain. They may have
valuable feedback hidden among the rants, but it is not worth the
time spent filtering out the noise. Another category is people who
got a bad first impression and they are rather upset with it (even if
this was for all the wrong reasons). Usually their feedback (although
often unpleasant), contains clues on how to improve things. If it
does, use it; if it doesn't - just ignore it.
You people should be ashamed of yourself.
Certainly they should not - this is internet and everyone is entitled
to an opinion :-) A user may have a valid reason to complain, and a
developer may have a good reason (lack of resources, etc.) to ignore
the complaint.
Then I'd like to see one of *you* coming forward and working 6
weeks full time to prevent people from needing to edit plists in
TextEdit.
Ain't gonna happen. The dedicated core developers will always be a
small group. And the rest of the world will continue to complain.
That's how it works. Really. I was tempted to use a similar argument
in the past (and maybe did a few times), but now I think about it as
my personal choice to spend my time on the product that I share.
Certainly don't feel like anyone else is obligated to do the same (or
even buy me beer :-))
Cheers,
Andrus

What he said, only not as nicely:
While I can understand that someone might find the interface of
Eclipse a bit lacking, I think it's a slap in the face for all of
those who invest their valuable time to make WO development
possible in the future and decide to share their code and
experience for free when a 10 billion $ company just gave you the
shaft.
You people should be ashamed of yourself.
We certainly welcome enhancements, fixes, or even only ideas, but
you must be aware that all the work currently rests on a very small
amount of people and they *will* simply stop when the amount of
signal to noise progresses to the worse.
Then I'd like to see one of *you* coming forward and working 6
