But remember when you paint with a broad brush, you create boxes that actually don't fit real people. Almost everyone reading what you have said will find some reason it doesn't fit them (in my case, I'm female, and while I run devices into the ground its with work. I don't 'just break' them.)

The pleas for less unconstructive whining (note, that's not constructive suggestions and the like) is well made, though.
What havent you seen fTeasMaid in extras-devel yet. It lacks a little functionality like

.fillTheKettle()
.turnKettleOn()
.findTeaBags()
.steepTea()

But we do have the tea steeping timer and are working on embedding it into the app.

It has a long way to go but we are ahead of the iPhone app. (I just gave it a name)
