Yes. I'm paid pretty good money to do exactly that sort of thing (telling people what their software products should or should not do) in my professional life. The fact that I've been doing it for 28+ years implies that I've been fairly successful at it, too.

The additional fact that the poll rubbed you (one of the worst fanboys on this forum), the devs, and many others with too-sensitive sensibilities the wrong way does absolutely nothing to lessen the underlying point. I don't believe in tap-dancing around issues or sugar-coating replies for ease of consumption. I assume other people are adults (until they prove otherwise) and have the maturity to accept arguments in a rational and logical manner. Alas, I find way too few people that understand the concept of reasoned discourse, much less are willing to practice said concept.

Finally, I'd also call your attention to the statistically significant number of poll respondents who agreed with me.

EDIT: PS - this is about as polite a response to flamebait, GD's obvious intent in his reply, as I can make.
