    So, you are very good at taking and consuming, but not very good at giving back? Not very good at supporting when people’s contributions in their free time isn’t perfect. “Hey, you know you what you spent your evening on. It’s crap”. As someone involved in open source, you get that enough, it wears you down and you eventually wonder if you’d be better off just playing a game, watching tv or spending time with family. Keep throwing out the negativity and you’re just burning the candles of folk that are making the thing you apparently love. I’ve been in relationships with people that take, and take and take, and don’t give much in return. Claiming love doesn’t make it any more positive though, does it?

    Maybe you need to ask how you actually help open source software or how you can give back?

    Or maybe I’m mistaken, and PopOfAfrica is the official arbiter of what is good UI and not. If PopOfAfica doesn’t like it, it’s dreadful and no one else is allowed to like it. It’s fine to not like software, it is not fine to assume that only your view is important and others isn’t.
