I think that depends a lot on exactly what you mean by developer. If, |
| 12 |
by developer, you mean those people who've been graced with gentoo.org |
| 13 |
accounts, I suspect that, as far as attitudes go, you're probably right. |

If, on the other hand, you mean those people who think of themselves as |
| 16 |
developers, and anyone else who actively assists with gentoo |
| 17 |
development, you might be surprised - Gentoo is apparently getting some |
| 18 |
real users (by that, I mean users who are not also developers), and |
| 19 |
their attitudes on what works and what doesn't typically varies greatly |
| 20 |
from those of developers. In some instances, what developers feel is |
| 21 |
merely annoying is a complete obstacle to a user. In others, what |
| 22 |
developers are highly concerned about makes no difference to a user. |
