People are working, tho. You just don't see it, because all there is to see is at GIThub and Assembla. Rrrix, for example, is updating all his stuff pretty regularly. SimpleFollow and R-YAR are both getting love. So is Trinity, which is a major thing. The new version has every place changed, where "GilesTrinity" was initially hardcoded by GilesSmith. Not to mention the implementation of new builds and stuff.. i am no software dev myself, but i am pretty sure this is quite a large amount of work to be done. So, instead of bitch about little things, just be grateful, that people are actually doing the job they are paid for. On top of that, there are people who are actually doing it for free. Like all the nice profiles for a1 and a3 that you use(or used to make your own). All in all, just because you don't see updates here and there IN THE FORUMS, doesn't mean they don't happen.
p.s. Rrrix, i was thinking, how about a new "hub" thread, where you place links for all your updated stuff. I don't see why there isn't such a thread.(apart from having to read people's bitching about why beta stuff breaks, lol).
