Seriously, frustration at what? Unless you're both seeing a different comment to what I am, the author is giving some positive criticism to help improve the app.
If you are unable to take such criticism, then I suggest you consider a career change.
Rude criticism: I didn't understand a thing of your app (since I use note and it's better) so you're app is useless...
This is a spare time hobby, not a career.
This isn't the main reason for quitting, this is only the last drop.
PS: I passed by just to say hello not to start a flame war!!!

I am at the hello world stage so I can't comment on what developers face, but a quick reading of that, it is bordering on rude. There are ways to say things that impart criticism while at the same time showing appreciation, this comment had none of the latter.

Besides, I think we're all tired of 'i'm quitting the n900' threads by now.

Although I agree that the comment lacked tact, looking past the disgraceful construction of the comment to the substance can be useful. If it's useful and you fix it, you might find far more positive responses in general. Just the same, I hope you have better experiences forthcoming whether or not you remain on this platform or I find you on another.
For what it's worth, I hadn't seen this app before and was pretty happy to see that someone wrote a good, useful application like this for new fathers, despite your fall-out with the comment.

I wish there was a slap button...I miss IRC...
that being said, i appreciate ALL developers and i always throw mad props your way. keep up the fight and further development. this phone is the people's phone. all you programmers and developers made it what it is and not nokia. i wouldnt even think twice in giving any honor to nokia on this device.

This is what is happening every single day in commercial world.
Devs are struggling to understand some user requirements, sometimes they are just plain stupid, true. There is no way that user can understand development process. But in other hand there is no more useful information source. They care about tangible stuff, no mater how beautiful it is under the hood.
As long as critic is constructive, giving you power and motivation to improve your stuff. If not, you are not ready to call yourself developer... maybe coder.. but not developer.
We definitely need developers here.
