Another reason is that it is not in Windows users' mentality (and 
perhaps in non-programmers' mentality) to report bugs... Consider things 
broken and abandon silently, often, whine in forums, sometimes, but 
report bugs, never.  And it's not only with Gimp... Maybe we should find 
a middle ground between the useless "It's broken, fix it" and the 
intimidating formality of the bug report on Bugzilla.
