Based on my personal interactions with GNOME developers and unresolved bugs, I suspect your experience is the exception, not the broad norm.

- zxzax 5y agoI don't meant to say it doesn't have bugs, of course it does. Every project has bugs. As with all open source, submitting patches to fix those bugs will usually go farther than patiently waiting and hoping that another volunteer will get frustrated enough by the bug to fix it eventually. The obvious segfault bugs that affect everyone badly will tend to get fixed pretty fast, the more obscure ones that arise from weird use of widgets (and need a lot of in-depth debugging) are a harder thing to ask a volunteer to spend their time on.
