But check on the other side.

Many project ignore the reports (bugs, feature) of "Ubuntu user". We tend to ignore such reports because they are stupid.

Check also the bug reports of Android (and Google in general). There are many valid bugs (and IMHO simple bugs) that are never corrected. Now I don't write anymore bug report to Google and Android. Nobody cares.

So I'm happy when Linus and other prominent people rant: projects (and Google) will correct quicker some stupid errors, to advantage to all users (check e.g. the Linus' daughter laptop problem).

Yes, there are problems with Android as well, of course. I can tell you from personal experience, however, that 3 iterations of the Android I had on my phone all went from worse to better in pretty much all respects. So, something is getting done by someone, somewhere.
