OK. Well, let me say a few things from the other perspective. The point you keep repeating is that youre 'tired of filing bug reports'. Well, how do you think a developer who spends decades of their lives making something and giving it away for free, when 90% of the feedback they get is in the form of complaining? Don't you imagine that that would become far more tiresome than filling out a bug report every couple of months? If you consider the time that the developer of the software your using has spent in order to give it to you FOR FREE, and OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEARTS--years or decades of their nights and weekends, how does that compare to the few minutes it takes you to file a report? I say this to put your grievances in perspective--because it's quite clear that you really have no idea how petty it sounds to someone who is not currently as enraged with frustration as you are. Now, let's talk about that frustration. I know it well. In fact, anyone who uses software at all knows it well. You single out free software and linux audio, but believe me, the bugs are by now means limited to that domain.
I've watched a friend of mine go through 3 different Windows systems, with the aid of vendors that deal exclusively in systems for pro audio use - and still not have a usable, bug-free system.
Biggest complaint I have about Microsoft is they've somehow convinced people that problems with software and computers are "normal". "Just shut down and restart."
