Absolutely...not, well some do. I stopped using/contributing to Gaim/Pigdin a long time ago because of this. Ask for a simple feature and explain why it's helpful for you as to show meritorious reason for requesting said feature, only to be insulted, disrespected, or at the very least turned down without consideration. I stopped reporting bugs to ubuntu as well. Because real bugs were turned into questions or closed, or ignored. So I took up programming and will never use it again. there are plenty others out there. I always thought open source software was a great idea. It's starting to seem like capitalism in disguise.

People are just people. Sitting on a throne has its up sides, regardless of what the peons think.

On the contrary, it's the lack of capitalism that you've run up against. The maintainers of projects don't care overmuch about your opinion because they don't have any reason to. If you want someone who's eager to please, you should be looking for someone whose ability to keep the bills paid depends on whether you're happy enough to keep giving them money.
