Alpha lowers the expected level of polish and stability - it doesn't make every regression equally acceptable. It is a reasonable criticism even when released to the alpha channel.

Further, I believe it's reasonable for users' expectations to be influenced by what the project itself communicates about the development process.

> People sometimes.

I have experienced many (relatively minor but some annoying) bugs in GrapheneOS the past few years, without complaint to the developers. And have submitted bug reports and logs. I'm "in the trenches", not just slinging mud from the outside. If I were in a better financial situation right now, I would be donating too.

What do you mean "why"? For the exact reason he stated in his first paragraph - a serious regression impacting his workflow.

My comment makes it pretty clear what the disappointment is:

> shame an obvious regression happened for one of my primary use-cases: copying one-time codes

Then the "later" is that even with frontier AI review tools, it was still missed

I am not alleging vibe coding - that's a strawman.
