You said it looks like it was developed in a potting shed - not
responding to what you didn't say, I'm responding to what you did say.

You couldn't write anything better, or probably /anything/ so it's time
to sit down and shut up.

As I said, the early development was shaky, made even more shaky by
idiots constantly filing irrelevant bug reports and public criticism
which had to be responded to.

Who cares about the infrequent odd little argument, the vast majority of
this work gets resolved properly, professionally.

Don't you read? It's not about developers not caring about users, it's
about the fact that users shouldn't need to care about it, the
developers do the caring so users don't have to. If you're not a
developer and want to try and tell people how to do what they do, then
you should simply sit down and shut up. 

This isn't an opinion that keeps linux in the dark ages, it's the
opinion which is responsible for the rise of the linux desktop to where
it is today, especially GNOME.

K,

P.S. if you're going to continue with brash bad logic in order to try
and 'win' this debate you're even more arrogant than you appear to be.
