The Itchy Open Source Problem

“In Dennis Powell’s ‘The view from the desktop‘ column last week, he noted a problem with the development of KDE (and other Open Source projects). Generally speaking, KDE developers work on KDE for fun, and while interested, they are not necessarily concerned about the needs of end users. Obviously hobbyist developers should not be required to do anything for those using their code, but this situation often causes features that users want and need to be overlooked.” Editorial at LinuxAndMain.
