To avoid misunderstandings: I'm not a pidgin-dev, but I have my own 
OSS-Projekt.

Let me think. How much did you pay the devs? Nothing? Right! I therefore 
think they owe you nothing. They are doing their work for fun and for free.
I also don't think any of them force you to use pidgin. You are free to 
use any other multi messenger out there or even MSN if you wish. And 
it's really not the dev's fault that you can't code. But you can at 
least pay someone to code. To expensive?

No, I really think it's the few close minded -devs- users (I'm too lazy 
to cite the next paragraph) that really do no good, in thinking that 
they can get stuff for free and still have a right to complain. And 
there is a big difference between complaining and arguing!

My two cent.

Morty
