s/cares/knows/ is likely the most accurate description. Unless there's a direct conflict, I'd wager that most developers would love to help all their users. The problem, however, is that they don't directly give you anything. Therefore, if you don't speak up, they don't know you're there (let alone what would help you).

[of course, the ideal way to ensure you get heard is to have your own developer.... ;]

Thinking about it further, there's a very good parallel between having a developer in $project and having a seat on the panel deciding things. They'll speak up for your interests and ensure (to the extent that they can) that future decisions don't negatively impact you (and hopefully that the decisions help you). And as always, having more seats at the table is better for you than fewer.
Speaking up is like sitting in the audience where a decision is being discussed. You can say your piece, but have little leverage in the active decision.

I am afraid most developers do not work from sheer love, even when there is some involved. I am also afraid they do not have infinite resources but conflicts and priorities instead. Speaking up is a requirement but I really doubt it is enough.

Umm, ok, but that doesn't contract what I say (namely that, in an ideal world where developers had no conflicts and unlimited resources that they'd love to help all of their users. I am also afraid they do not have infinite resources but conflicts and priorities instead. Yes. Clearly, only so much can be done. You bring up a good point that it's more than *just* direct conflicts, but the core point is, I think sound: that, in general, developers would love to help their users. The problem is where conflicts (ah, in action as well as in priorities and therein resource limitations) come in. Maybe I'm the only developer that feels this way, but I don't think so. And I'm not usually known for my belief in the innate goodness of humans.
