I think this is a symptom of a problem for a number of open source
projects and something where, as much as I hate to say it, commercial
closed-source does a better job. I've noticed that quite a few (but
deff not even most) open source projects are reluctant to react to
user feedback. A lot of times there is an attitude of 'well that's
just not what i want my software to do' approach by the lead
developers. I think it then starts to become an ego issue. If enough
of the userbase wants a feature, it should probably be included ...
especially if it can be accomplished in such a manner that it doesn't
impact users who don't want the new feature.
