Sure, but in a constructive way. We cannot fix "a total waste of time" and
"terrible support".

Sure. We all want some graphical tool to setup layout files. There even
were attempts to do so. But then, we are about 7 persons in the core team,
all of has have a job and a career, so it is a it is in OSS: Things get
implemented if someone finds the time and interest.

OTOH, I think LyX has a great community. Usually, if someone requests for
help with setting up a layout, he gets help within the same day. I have
responded the OP within minutes, even though I actually have a paper to
write myself at this very moment (where the deadline has passed already).

So with all respect to wishes and dreams, my understanding for such
unconstructive rants is rather limited.
