I'm always surprised at the low percentage of people voting in the US. Democracy is founded on the idea that people vote; if you do not, don't complain. Don't resort to the tired old argument "They are all the same ". "They" are not. You have a vote, use it. You have the right to be a candidate, use it. Full disclosure : I am French. Now, Anonymous Coward, you can tell jokes about whining and surrendering :-)

Everyone has always complained about the interface for years and the developers refuse to hear. They keep insisting that you don't know how to use your screen space. Since a program is only as good as its team, I don't see any hope unless fresh people take the lead. But who would like to do that ? There are probably better alternatives for first-class people.
