(Get the code!)

"More than 3 years since this bug was first reported, and the only thing to do is make background clickable when Nautilus is in listview mode, but until now nothing was done.
Maybe Nautilus team should review the importance of this bug and change its priority because a solution is really necessary for users who manage large folders and depends of listview mode to manage lots fo files.
Home users, like most part of Gnome users, maybe don't feel affected by this problem, but enterprise users are!
How can Gnome substitute Windows in enterprise environment if a single correction like that take such a long time to be implemented?
Thank you!"
I couldn't agree more. The same goes for the non-functional copy/paste in Ubuntu (Linux in general). Developers just don't care. They don't want to fix bugs, they only want to develop new features. Stop developing Gnome Shell, another Login Screen and such new features. First fix all of those existing bugs!
It's the problem I see with all kind of open source software. Developing new features is fun, but fixing bugs isn't. So, the developers only want to develop new features, but they really don't care about existing bugs. First complete your existing project, before moving on.
Then there are those people who keep on saying "Fix it yourself if it bothers you." and "The code is opensource and anybody could give it a try". Those people think everyone in the world knows how to write programs and how to fix bugs. I really want to fix those bugs. If I was able to fix bugs, this bug was already fixed, but I'm not a programmer. I know a little PHP and that's it. All other languages are way too complicated for me. I've tried C, C++ and Phython, but I'm not able to produce something usefull. The only thing I can do in C, C++ or Phython is a CLI application which asks for two numbers and then says "Number 1 + Number 2 = Answer". I just don't have enough skills to do more advanced programming.
Who's going to fix all of those bugs if the developers don't want to fix them and those who do want to fix them have not enough skills to fix them?
