Well, compare to Microsoft. You call them and they will charge you $whatever on your credit card before you even get to talk to a human. If the problem then turns out to be their fault they *might* refund you that money. Fixing issues could take decades or just not happen at all. In that light, I don't think bugzilla does too badly. (A program that can take a positive number, square it, and end up with a negative number, is that "production ready"?) > That being said, I have ongoing Gnumeric annoyances > that don't seem to be getting fixed as of 1.4.3.

But before we can do that, we need know about the problems. The more precise a problem description, the more likely a fix. > Posting complaints on the mailing > list doesn't seem to get much attention Right. Mailing lists are really no good at issue tracking. You could get lucky, but bugzilla is really the way to go.
