Comment(by adfhau):

 Ouch.. that's a bit harsh.. Whilst Sean may not have been enthusiastic
 about voice/video features, I think it's a little harsh to dig into him
 quite this much given his contribution to other areas of the application.

 Sure - I, like others, am driven to using things like Skype to get
 workable A/V in linux and have found the delay very inconvenient (and if
 something of a suitable grade happened to implement these features into a
 stable, reliable multi-protocol client for linux, I'd consider switching)
 - but besides this, there's no denying that Pidgin plays a role in a
 significant part of my personal and work lives and without it and its
 backend libraries, we, adium, finch and some other app users would be
 without a very useful tool.

 Pressure needs to be maintained, frustration is expected, but direct
 attacks are not constructive. The devs benefit from knowing the features
 users want, but to demotivate them is not advantageous to users' long term
 goals.
