A "quiet and happy" user community has an upside and
a downside.

Upside: the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
(I.e., comments focus on bugs and needed features,
so AbiWord gets improved.)

Downside: all that squeaking.
(I.e., great software gets few kudos.)
This gets worse when users do not understand
or appreciate the development process, since
less of the squeaking is productive.

Thanks for a wonderful word processor!
And stay motivated: the equation editor
and display system are going to be an
awesome feature.
