I fully agree. The picture is just not that simple usually, and most of the time it's tradeoffs between listening to different user bases, or tradeoffs causing to get some large improvements while losing some smaller thing(s) or tradeoffs between getting something shipped and being perfect.
Usually, when you create something, you have to make some hard decisions involving such tradeoffs, and the same if true here. And that's what project management is all about. If you have ever done such a "job", in business or in non-profit space, you probably know what I mean.
We're trying our best to deliver the best software we can - that may sometimes not be enough for everyone, but believe me, we're trying hard to deliver the best thing we can do for our users. In terms of SeaMonkey 2, those decisions were in a few cases between letting the project as a whole die or replacing some old feature with a new feature that works differently. How would you decide in such a situation?
