It must be me one of the most influential men in open-source speaks out, and we have grunts that ApplicationX doesn't work. Mod these people down.
I say this for my own sanity not others. I turn into help desk mode and what Linus says gets drowned out.
I'm going to address all your user-space concerns. I'm pushed to think of a single application on Linux that doesn't have multiple replacements. Report the bug. Use a different one. Join a forum, go on IRC ask for help. That is appropriate.
