How many times does this have to be repeated?  Severity levels are NOT 
determined by how much a user wants the app to work.  They're just not, 
deal with it.

What are you talking about?  A lot of people use Photoshop, that's why 
it has been given more attention.  This is FOSS software, the more 
popular an application is, the more people will be involved in getting 
it to work.  Photoshop is very popular.  "Acme Inc. Card Counter" is not.
Photoshop has been prioritised because it is so popular, it is also 
affected by a LOT of bugs.  This adds up to 1+1=2 and nothing more.
Photoshop bugs are prioritised in exactly the same way all the other 
bugs are.

I don't think you can see the picture.

Who said you had?

Not to you, no.  Only what you think is right.
