Aww come on. I was actually impressed with the responses so far, but
what you said is a non-answer and the Linux community has gone over
this so many times with itself. "Put up or shut up" is not a reason
for the shortcomings in an open source application.

Sure it is. Maybe it's the most legitimate response in the case of OSS.
If things are as they are, then maybe that's the way the majority of
users like them. At the least, the developer is content. "Better is the
arch-enemy of Good Enough".
If things are not as you like, then /you/ may be the one most motivated
to get them "fixed" to your liking. Do it yourself; make suggestions to,
or file bug reports with the developers; hire someone; inspire someone.
