Yes, nothing is free, when I start using an open source project I make some assumptions on what to expect from the project. Based on those assumptions I will invest more or less time learning and integrating the project into my workflow.

The problem arise when my expectations doesn't match the project maintainers expectation.

Ideally every project should announce clearly for newcomers what to expect. Will there be be features, how fast will bugs be investigated and fixed, at what cost.
