That this is acceptable in any way is ridiculous

I find your and nix23's responses to be precious. Acceptable? It's free software! Take it for what it is, appreciate it, and adopt it if it suits you?

To contradict myself: I do find myself frustrated when 'obvious thing that should work' doesn't but I save that ire for things that break between versions!

I am really against the idea that just because something is "free", it is exempt of any judgment. We should always strive to improve everything, free or not.

Yeah but the other way around, it should not be acceptable that you have to use pre-compiled proprietary software.
