When it comes to comments and recommendations for selecting software packages, developers are the end users :)
Yes, most certainly. But developers as consumers are very different from application users as consumers, which is what I was getting at.
The convenience interfaces for commenting on a library are far less valuable for developers, IMO, since developers are expected to better understand how their context impacts their perception. Useful feedback from a developer just doesn't fit will into the giant-pile-of-comments UIs conventional for non-developers.
If I'm wrong about that, then I'm saddened by the state of the profession.
