So what can be done? In my opinion, we should
- define the goal of LyX together with our users. Maybe the result is
to hide background stuff, maybe it is the opposite. Whatever it might
be, that should be the base for future development.
- setup a "board of development" that take care of user feedback and
who define the things the next version of LyX should have. Such a
board should only be 50% consist of developers. Translators are not
treated as developers. The idea is to see what people really need and
to organize its development so that several developers develop a
certain feature.
I only made these 2 proposals and thought they are worth to be considered.
It is OK not to agree, but what about other ideas or do you think we
should just continue as we did the last months? I mean criticism should
be constructive. So I would her your ideas for future development.
OK, here are my _final_ words on the subject then. Considering the
number of active developers, we do not have that much free goodwill to
spend on design by committee. I already have a day job, thanks. I am not
looking for a new boss telling me what I should be doing during my free
time.
Despite your insistence that we do not love our users, I do my best. If
it is not good enough for you, so be it.
I hope this is a clear enough answer, it is as constructive as I can be.

PS: remember that LyX is a platypus: something so weirdly designed that
everybody is surprised that it even exists. I understand you would
better have something useful like a cow or a duck. However, these are
boring animals and everybody loves platypuses :)
