-  why do I need to be better if I sense lack of care as the problem?
-  why would I risk wasting time to do something they apparently don't want?
- if I was not a dev - would I then not have the right to complain about 
problems of software that I otherwise might be inclined to use, "if only"?
Are only SW devs wanted as users of EE software? Most certainly not.
Then now imagine I am a dev. What does that change about my right to 
dissatisfaction?
Right. Nothing.
There are a bazillion open source projects of potential interest to me, 
with problems.
Are you serously suggesting I work on them all "instead of complaining"?

Now that wasn't really thought through, was it.
