Can you quote an example of where someone has actually done that? (As opposed to, say, "I tried to implement this feature but I found it really difficult. Has anyone considered refactoring? I'm happy to help.") > It's a form of disrespect > for everything that has been done already. No more so than any other message which says "This thing about JOSM is sub-optimal - let's make it better." > By all means send your > patches but they better be for features and not just refactoring > because you think it looks nicer. Why does this idea persist? _Who_ has come along and argued for refactoring "because it looks nicer"? Caricaturing those who disagree with you is not a good way to have a discussion.
