Sphere, 
 
While your recent bug reports are welcome, you have to understand that the focus on some 
of them is much too broad to be of a lot of value.   
 
KDevelop moves in directions that the authors want it to go in.  Since it's a collaboration of 
people who do it as a hobby and not for pay things get done at the whim of the authors.  If 
you have needs for something else in the project, you are welcome to contribute it yourself.  
if there are errors or bugs, people typically step up to fix them to make the product better 
for everyone.  But large shifts in focus require much more thought and development in order 
to happen. 
 
Do these recent requests you've made exist in other linux IDEs?  Eclipse comes to mind.  I'm 
such it has more features in some areas that KDevelop, but it also has much more corporate 
sponsorship.  Perhaps that IDE is more what you're looking for? 
 
Anyway, you have to understand that when you start asking for everything + the kitchen sink 
that you're probably not going to get it in the near term.  I can only presume some developers 
took this to heart as offense because they felt like you are looking down on them.  And, like 
the note above says, a lot of developers don't speak English as a first language so sometimes 
the language barrier may make comments seem different emotionall than they really are. 
 
So, I am requesting that this stops now.  You have filed a number of reports so far, and 
some of them are pending, and some have been resolved.  You are welcome to continue 
filing reports as long as they are specific enough to be realizable by the devs.  However, this 
bug will be closed and remain that way.   
 
If you want to be critical and helpful, you are welcome to do so.  If you want to be critical and 
spiteful, please go away.  It doesn't matter who started it - I am ending it.
