*begin rant*<br>
<br>
Why do they have issues trackers if they only respond to issues "that affect<br>
them"?<br>
<br>
This is one of the worst aspects of many open source projects!<br>
<br>
The programmers don't take users seriously enough.<br>
<br>
Or they expect users who bother to report problems to be programmers who can<br>
fix the bugs themselves and save them the bother.<br>
<br>
And some programmers suffer from what can only be described as the NIH<br>
syndrome. ("Not Invented Here")<br>
<br>
It's just not good enough!<br>
