I'm just glad wordpress exists so I can use it for free! Who gets that upset about free software that they need to blame someone for frequent updates?

I purchased a really kick ass theme from Revolution Themes. Then I downloaded some cool plugins that some really great people created. And I just have one thing to say...everything is good in the neighborhood! Seriously, I am thrilled with everything. When I come across an outdated plugin or a theme I may want to use on a clients site...I just uninstall and look for another. If its one I really want, I keep checking back for an upgrade. If you pay for something that doesn't work...then you have a complaint. When people spend their time and talents to create great products and offer them for free...what complaint can you really have?

Glad to have you around as self-nominated punching bag for all my future issues that do not work. I am still a bit amazed though, as a couple posters here have alluded too, the number of people that think a self hosted wordpress blog is not going to require a bit of technical know on occasion. And I am further just contorted in laughter when I hear of folks not having a backup and wanting to tirade about some bit of something not working here or there and causing a data loss. Come on folks, almost everything tells you to do the backup as the first step, but even if not it should be an obvious first step anyway.

I assume that the core wordpress team doesn't go out of their way to break plug-ins, although if they do, my point is moot. That said, nothing can be static. Wordpress has to change to better suit the needs and wants of its users and to keep up with security issues. Meanwhile, plug-in authors have to accept that changes happen and they need to watch for them, if they want their plug-in to work. Love-hate relationship maybe?
