And you have not yet encountered the backlash you get from users as on Open Source developer when you try to implement said useful, user-friendly things?

I have been at that spot various times and users almost always start unleashing hell if your next commit / PR is not that fix etc. they wait for but some general improvement for everyone.

You do that a few times, then the emails arrive, trying to coerce you into doing exactly what a very specific user wants and later threats of DDoS arrive.

Also... those nice tools are usually developed by the same open source people. They pay their salary.
