Sorry you had a bad experience. Please do not let the words and actions of one developer reflect on the hundreds of others.

It's a good idea to have everything bugged just for the sake of getting things accomplished. IRC is nice, and a lot of collaboration goes on there, but a lot of things fall through the cracks. If there seems to be a lot of push to interface through bugzilla, the reasons are to be able to track stuff and get it done. I hate bugzilla as much as the next guy, but I think it helps to prevent a lot of frustration from requests getting lost.
