"why not make yourself useful instead of bitching out someone who's volunteered their free time to make your life easier"

Because as soon as you've found issues with more than, say, 3 things, you no longer have enough of your own free time to volunteer to solve the problem in a better way, let alone whatever you were already working on. Do you honestly believe that criticism has no value?

Complaining on twitter is not the same as finding an issue! Criticism has value, but not all commentary deserves equal weight or time before it is reasonable to request reciprocal effort.

It has vanishingly little and there's certainly no shortage of people handing it out for free. There's a reason for aphorisms such as "talk is cheap" and "my two cents". You seem to value your own time extremely highly; where's the respect for others?
