No, John, I'm not the only one. There are actually millions of software engineers and staff who design, program, market, and successfully sell within stringent deadlines SW products of much, much higher quality and complexity than a mere handful of platform specific common controls, and earn money substantially above average of their peers in other scientific and industrial domains. That said, what would you expect from yet another open-source project without firm guidance, clear targets, capable team, fixed deadlines, or equitable remuneration? Degradation and oblivion in 99.9 per cent cases, is all.
What you and me and everyone else are doing here (and over there too) is in fact sitting in the sandbox playing buskets and scoops. All this is about simply having fun, nothing more. There can be nothing of practical worthiness in such activities by definition. If this is what you mean by putting the word "shit" in my mouth, then shit it is, John.
