Actually, it's everyone using a language other than C/C++, plus a proportion of those too. I use C#, but if you want to call Sqlite from Java, Python, etc or even some generic C/C++ app that supports plug-ins, then at some point there is a DLL and if the OS is x64 and any of the tools are x86 then there is a good chance of getting a combo that doesn't play. Add that to impenetrable error messages and limited diagnostic tools and it's hair-tearing-out time again. It definitely isn't a problem caused by Sqlite, but being able to reliably source both x86 and x64 DLLs (and a way to tell them apart) would certainly help.
