That is more accurate if rephrased to say:
There is a inevitably a wall because people that don't actually use the software but rant up and down forums about how much it all sucks and thee the people that devoted huge portions of their lives to actually hacking on the software.
Free software is, and always will be, a meritocracy. People that do the work are the ones that make the decisions. And this is absolutely how it needs to be. Anything else is borderline slavery.

I use Spice and it works fantastically. It is far and away superior to VNC or the SDL-based framebuffer that Qemu supported prior to it.

Too right. I've spent close on ten years on my project, only to see people like "Cyberax" claim he's got scores of examples of "braindeadness", and he's even too lazy to actually give me one, which, if it's indeed something broken, would at least give me a sporting chance to improve Krita. It's not like I'm not holding out for a patch...
Fortunately, real users are rather more appreciative, and some even post their appreciation on forums -- http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3305999 :-)
