I have contributed and improved more than a few FOSS pieces of software that I used when I thought it could use improvement or a bug fix, or even just documentation of the bug. FOSS isn't a company, and a huge portion of contributors aren't paid a dime. It bothers me when people criticize with vehemence against the developers, where I express my opinion is on the nature of belligerent complaints vs helpful ones. Have a nice day.

No, they're right. It's not a requirement to sling code to put your opinions out there about open source.

  Everyone has their opinions. There are so many opinions out there, it isn’t really clear what to do with them. Put them out there, fine, now everybody else just has to decide if they care. One way to tell if you should care about an opinion is to check and see if the person professing it has taken any concrete actions toward getting the world to align with it.

    > There are so many opinions out there, it isn’t really clear what to do with them. Thankfully large projects generally have feedback loop systems to figure out how to parse that feedback. The rest of your comment isn't particularly contributing to the discussion here, short of trying to re-cement a broken take.
