Attacking them with a "suck it up, you're just a coding animal" really isn't a very nice way of showing the respect they deserve. As always, features need to be weighed before they are considered into a project. Screen rotation is such a feature. Sometimes it can be beneficial, sometimes it doesn't make any sense at all. There's no unique rule, especially when you look at the wealth of different applications we have on this platform.
You're right, I presented that wrong. I should have said, developers who want to develop for maemo should see the benefits of portrait and ASR, and understand that although it may be a bit more tedious, that feature will take Maemo closer to the mainstream.

I apologize to all developers, I love you all.
