Hiiiiiiii Nathan, I share your frustrations. I think we all do, to some extent. It would be very nice if all of these problems, major an minor, could be fixed but the reality is that until some one cares enough about a particular problem then, as you say, it isn't going to happen. I think this is called open-source.
The absent or poor documentation is what I like least about sage. It's annoying that quite a lot of "basic" things need to be implemented and that others have been done badly. I have fixed the things that I really need, or worked around them. The responsiveness of sage-devel and sage-combinat is nice. I switched to sage because it is the best platform that I found. Sure, many things could be better, but I don't like gap4, magma, malple, mathematica, matlab, C, ... In spite of its many warts and problems I do like writing in python and working with sage. Using sage, I have been able to compute things much more quickly and painless than before when I was writing in gap. I'm happy with that. Does anyone have any *concrete suggestions* for how we could improve the "development model"? There is definitely room for improvement but short of paying someone I don't have any good suggestions. The problem is that what I want implemented is often different to what everyone else wants, but thankfully there is some overlap and so some give and take. Ideas anyone?
