My point of view is that they have created this off their own sweat and deserve some kudos and respect for what they have built. Dia is a fantastic product, even for something that hasn't hit version 1.0 yet. I certainly wish I had the ability to add to the code. But alas, I'm just a mere network engineer. So you could do two things instead of complaining: 1. Actively contribute to the code releases, or 2. Buy a commercial version if you can't wait til the product matures. Dia is open source, not open season.
