Yeah, providing details about what failed so that others can
improve on it if they want to is of course a sensible thing to
do, but I think most of such "complaints" could be avoided by
being up-front explicit about what a tool does well and what it
doesn't do well.
If I use a product and it breaks in an unexpected way I assume
that not only that part is broken but that a lot of other parts
are broken as well, i.e. I would assume it was alpha quality. And
then the provider would be better off by marking it as such.
