Last time I tried Mozilla Calender it sucked big time. Bloated, slow
and  practically unusable. Thunderbird still isn't equal to other
better programs.

Good, well the next step is to make it better until it fits your
needs.  Did you ask them how can you help?

I am not a programmer. I will give positive and negative response to user lists for the products I use. Why do people respond to user comments with questions like this?

Because in the FOSS world either you can contribute some work
(developping, documentation, whatever) and you have some standing, or
you don't and are a nobody (and the amount of screeching on ML and
forums won't change that)

I think that is (or was) good practice in projects from techies for techies.
For end user software, with high non-tech-user-demands, of which OOo is an excellent example, I think it is better to find a different approach.

And besides that: even the fact that people bother to inform 'the project' about their needs, feelings, (dis-)likes, ís a valuable contribution.
