If you ever wonder why GNOME devs seem so hardnosed on issue trackers, just read comments by people demanding that they implement things users have been wanting for years :)
Well, when instead of fixing decades old bugs they decide to instead remove features people used because they don't want to maintain them and add features nobody asked for because they were fun to work on, what do you expect people to say?
That's fine, then don't ever ask me to use your product or pretend like it is a serious tool.
I find it funny how often FOSS advocates extoll the virtues of FOSS, only to turn around and silence complaint with statements like "what do you want for free?".
I don't see GNOME devs going around asking people to use it? And you can do what you want on a piece of software and still have it be a "serious tool". I don't see a contradiction.
