Fully agree. I work on a large open source project and in 8 years I have encountered one person who found a bug by actually reading the code.
Many projects are stable only because the massive numbers of users that find bugs by running the software.
On the other hand there are virtually zero-fault small projects that no one is interested in because they are finished, bug-free and the author/maintainer would like to keep it that way.

Interesting that this statement did not trigger the usual mindless, meme-like HN syllogisms: "Software is never finished." "All software has bugs." They try to discredit the truth that such small projects exist and might have something to offer.
