i agree with what you are saying and just because the app is free we should not expect it to be lower quality, however i for one would not thumbs down a devs hard work on an app just because of misplaced buttons! if the app was unusable because of this then thats another story. otherwise i would give it a thumbs up and then open an enhancement or get in touch with the dev.

i also agree that a bug tracker should be mandatory however why cant bugs.maemo.org host all apps bug tracker. as someone else said here why cant the be created automatically as part of the application release process - either to extras dev or extras testing. that way at least you are guaranteed a consistent bug system across all apps!
