Well, there is a problem here then. Many KDE-users are not coders. Myself 
included. I have zero coding-skills. Does that fact then mean that 
feedback/suggestions from me (or someone else who can't code) are by default 
less valuable that suggestion from someone who can and does code?

Believe me, if I had the skills, I would absolutely LOVE to submit tons of 
patches and code to KDE. But I'm no coder. But I try to help in other ways. 
And my help does not include patches. Does it mean that my help is less 
appreciated?
