Vulcan neck pinch?

I never said it was a problem. You're trying to make a problem where none exists. I'm not playing this game. Have a nice day.

I'm not playing this game. You're obviously looking for a confrontation. You'll have to find someone else to play with.

I didn't say he was. That's the entire point. They briefly showed some gay characteristics on screen, but otherwise he just played the character plainly.

I assume you mean "meet his husband", but yes. There is a scene Into Darkness with his husband and daughter. But other than that and maybe a few mentions that you'd miss if you weren't paying attention, they didn't really put the character's gayness on display.

What is there to elaborate? Other than a brief embrace shown on screen, he didn't appear to play the role in any stereotypical gay manner. That's all...

To be fair, John Cho played Sulu straight until it was revealed that he was gay. And even then, there wasn't much gayness to his acting. Unless you count bringing a sword to a skydiving phaser fight, but I'd consider that more bad ass than gay.

The word you're looking for immolation. Or in this case, self-immolation.

Turn it upside down, slap the bottom a few times, and it'll open right up.

As someone that was in Tier 3 Support for more than a decade, I get it. The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Users need to complain, or things won't get fixed. But that's the catch...there needs to be enough people complaining to move that Priority 4 feature request up a few notches. One person complaining isn't going to move that needle. So you have to look at other options. Doing it yourself is always an option. So is complaining in an open forum to see if other users are complaining about the same thing, and hopefully one of those people try fixing it. Or you can just look for another tool. Yes, it sucks, but when you can't fix it yourself then what else can you do? The popular application will eventually win. Hopefully it's the one you want to use so that it gets continuing support.

I think that yelling at developers to make something for you is where the problem lies. You can try asking nicely, but ultimately other priorities have to be dealt with first. Until there are enough people asking for the same thing, this will always be the case. But you can always be the change that you want to see. Even if it's a ugly shitty GUI, as long as it does what it needs then other people should start using it. And then you can start dealing with all the user requests to add functionality that you never planned on. Or you can just tell them that this is the tool you made, and if they want more than they can create it themselves.

Things become a lot more muddy when you actually get in the dirt to fix things. It's easy to yell from the sidelines, but actually fixing things isn't as simple.

Edit: To everyone except OP, downvoting this dude isn't going to help anything. He's asking valid questions from a point of view that's 20 years out of GUI development. A lot has changed that isn't obvious to someone that hasn't actually done it for that long. Education should be more important than downvoting someone with an unpopular opinion in a forum for unpopular opinions.

I actually did make some GUI apps, with Visual Basic, back in the day.

A lot has changed in the 20 years since VB was used for GUI application development, especially on the OS side. It's not that GUI development had regressed, it's that everything else has gotten more complicated. It's not about being pretty, it's about complying with all the new security and testing requirements to make a functional application.

If you think that GUI application development should be simple, you could try creating a GUI wrapper around these CLI tools. I'm sure lots of people would be willing to test it for you.
