The first GNOME Boxes release

"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."

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 :-)
