I wonder why do people keep complaining how their bug tracker of choice sucks, instead of doing something about that. I can see a few possible factors: a) people do like to complain, and it's easier than submitting meaningful bug reports or feature requests, patches :-) b) the developers don't listen to their users, which happens far too often unfortunately c) (I had yet another idea here, but I forgot what it was :-p) d) a wild mix of the above However, this doesn't imply existing tracker software cannot be improved and more of that must be written from scratch (unless the code is cryptic and/or is written, probably poorly, in some rarely used programming language, and is unmaintainable.) Also, the reasons outlined above do not pertain only to bug tracker software somehow: any piece of software could suffer from that and I believe many of us have seen it. So maybe there's something fundamentally wrong with every existing bug tracker (e.g. they don't fix bugs for you?)
