But just as much as you consider an "expectation that a user MUST do something for an open source project" is a tired point, I consider the endless ranting by entitled FOSS users an obnoxious trend.
And btw. I never said something about "must", I asked why not choosing - OK, maybe strongly suggesting - another option.
Maybe you took my question the wrong way, but (maybe just as much misguided) I took the "opinion"/"discussion" not as opinion, but for the lack of any helpful suggestion as merely a rant.
I was raised not to needlessly complain about free things, without considering to take things into my own hands.
And even if you don't know how to code, suggestions and discussions are better had in an issue tracker, right? Otherwise, what's the point?
If one is not a user, and considers something else to be better, why voice such a strong opinion?
