Perhaps if they stopped working on useless bells and whistles no one asked for or will use for years to come and actually fixed some of the existing bugs in the existing releases, they'd be less swamped?

That is indeed the problem, isn't it? Every single time any voice comes up to point out the obvious, it gets swamped by the "smear campaign" chorus...
