While I agree that many bug reports end up being in fact due to the newbie effect, I would argue that :
-One can hardly call me a newbie since I’ve been around since early Rhino V3
-I have reported countless bugs, and helped improve Rhino at the expense of my time
-I have made many enhancement requests that are today part of Rhino and GH
-I don’t spare my compliments when I see something genuinely useful and well implemented in Rhino.
Although it is politically incorrect, I’ll state here my general feeling about what’s going on at McNeel :
There’s a bunch of older fellows who have done a great job in the past, but are today mostly a hindrance.
On the bright side, there seems to be talented young fellows who would deserve to take over and bring every aspects of Rhino at the same level.
I have no names to name or anything, but that’s my gut feeling for having been working 19 years with this tool.
