I am afraid most developers do not work from sheer love, even when there is some involved.

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.
