I think it's a mindset when we engage with Big Companies vs. individual developers. Smaller open source projects like simple text editors feel like individual devs we'd like to help, because we know the struggle if being a dev getting their project bug free. Large IDEs that we pay for feel more like anonymous companies that don't deserve our help. I've seen a change of my mindset toward some of the Jetbrains IDEs: I've met a few of the people behind CLion, and I'm much more inclined to file bugs and provide repro steps for that IDE, but not for others.
The people behind it are small teams of developers. If they don’t have the feedback loop closed—there is no way that the bugs will be fixed. And also, in this complex world, it’s not possible to write bug-free applications from the get-go without the feedback loop.
