There's a large spectrum between marketing expert and RTFM. Unfortunately, most nerds fall closer to the RTFM end than marketing expert or even normally functioning human. It isn't much of a surprise, but it is a problem for sure.

And of course there are hordes of lusers out there, but devs don't even treat each other well. Join a programming forum for any language and ask questions about things you don't comprehend. The amount of responses that are the equivalent of "just do this", "that's easy, just do", or non-descript links to code or documentation is quite large.

I'm not denying any of this. I just don't like it when people use this as an argument not o use some projects. So the devs are not great at one-to-one communication? Ok, is the documentation good? Is the code clear? Are the bugs fixed in a timely manner? Are support tickets answered? If yes then I don't care how nice they are. I assume that I will have to figure it out by myself and if there's someone to ask that's just a nice bonus. At the same time I see a lot of people that expect others to pretty much assist them on every step and complain when devs don't do it. It's just weird.
