It is not their ball anymore.  From their perspective it is just some
third-party package.  Or at least that is how their perspective on GNOME
and GNOME apps in general was explained to me.  Ubuntu is Ubuntu, GNOME
is GNOME, etc...

I strongly feel that this is true;  recent version have really raised
the quality level and new features are coming pretty fast [relative to
what seemed like a l-o-n-g period of just refactoring].  Sadly some
users cling to any sour impression they've gathered [it is hard to think
of any significant software package/project that hasn't had a lemon
version here and there].
