It's totally OK to criticize, but one should do it in a constructive way | |||

Aside from the tasteless (and incorrect) attack here, creating an issue, even for a small change, puts something into the changelog automatically. So there is a reason to open an issue for a PR you are just about to merge. In fact, sometimes it's noted as a prerequisite for a PR to reference a given issue. -Steve | |||

Temtaime said that Walter is setting the wrong priorities. Saying that he is doing "nothing useful" is a bit polemic, of course, but that probably stems from frustration. In context, it's hardly an "insult".
It's absolutely true that many reported issues don't get fixed for *years*. And that very much includes serious bugs. As far as I can tell, it's also true that Walter prioritizes new features instead (ImportC is the latest fad).
I sympathize with Temtaime. Their criticism wasn't sugar-coated, but it is constructive and it is valid in my opinion.
