Don't you realize that you insult other developers by calling them 
arrogant and telling them how they should work?

Many KDE developers are professional software engineers and know very 
well what they are doing. One of the strengths of the open source 
development model is that it isn't limited by restrictions of the 
classical development models you are taught at school or university.

Within the KDE community people usually treat each other friendly and 
with respect. If you would also like to become a part of this community 
you should rethink your attitude.
