These aren't finished, commercial applications for which you have to pay and upon which you have no influence. They are free open-source applications undergoing continual development by volunteer authors in cooperation with the user community.
If this is aimed at me.....

Then I know about the open source ethos...thanks. I run Ubuntu on everything at home and I am a great believer in open source. Just because it is open source does not mean one cannot make a valid comment about its performance or behaviour without having to go into great detail. You will note that I did not use words like "rubbish", "sucks", "flaky". If I had then your comment would be valid if directed towards me.

Now please spare me your patronising attitude.
