That I can agree with! Thank you for your more cunstructive comments on the issue. All I wanted from the start of this thread was at least please agree on that it is not perfect, there is really room for improvement and lets discuss on what we can do together? instead allmost all I get was "why don’t you do it your self", "I’m happy", "if you don’t like it don’t use it" kind of responses… 
I don’t mean the JB products are perfect but many developers around the world will agree that they are at least trying to ease the jobs of developers more than any other and most importantly they are trying to make coding a joy. We may be loving our jobs already but isn’t it better to feel joy when we use our everyday tools?
