They are in general more polite&  constructive than you.

And more professional.

Yes, I agree with you there.

Sometimes Richard can be helpful, and obviously knows quite a bit about mathematical software. But for reasons known only to Richard, he devotes a large proportion of his time being negative, unhelpful and generally obnoxious.


I don't know if you have ever seen Richard's review of Mathematica:

http://www.math.bme.hu/~jtoth/FelsMma/mma.review.pdf

but it is one of the most negative, biased "papers" I've ever seen. I'd like to know if some of his criticisms are true or not, but the paper is so biased, that I would not trust anything it says.
