Not just devs and end users, but also devs and other devs. Not in rejecting pulls but changing API's like renaming functions, removing functions, swapping argument positions, changing the complete workflow of a library, etc... without care. The amount of breakage in the OSS world is just ridiculous. I'm probably biased because I deal with a lot of Javascript where this sort of behaviour is rampant. |

It's overall. The size of libraries in a linux system [1] has grown steadily over the years wirhout bringing anything useful.
The QT and GTK libraries are the perfect example of incompatibilities and bad design.
