Reply on December 4 2014, 4:42pm (edited at December 4 2014, 4:44pm):

I keep reading that the phil behind R's dev is to add features the devs want to use themselves. I assume this is to keep the job motivating, but I can't help to feel a bit uncomfortable everytime I read that. In practice, R's dev and support is one of the best I've experienced, but again, that statement rubs me the wrong way. Is it unreasonable to expect a bit more influence as a paying customer? Does this mean it is possible that the most requested features never get implemented because the devs don't find them useful?
