Pulseaudio eats away about 10% CPU without any benefit whatsoever, not |
| 7 |
to mention that it makes things more complex and less reliable. Why |
| 8 |
would anyone use it? |

Developers might try to make their lifes easier by developing software |
| 11 |
to the point where nobody wants to use it, except for the few developers |
| 12 |
perhaps. With firefox, a policy like that contradicts their claims. |

This is another issue which comes up quite often with FOSS. Developers |
| 16 |
claim to be doing something in the interest of their users and are |
| 17 |
asking for support. When you take a closer look, you find that they |
| 18 |
don't, and when you offer support, they do not want it. |

Why can't they just say that they are making software for themselves the |
| 21 |
way they want it and don't care about what anyone else says or wants? |
| 22 |
It only gives reason to distrust someone when you find that they do not |
| 23 |
do what they claim to be doing. |
