I think any development teaim will ignore a complaint they disagree with. 
Isn't that the issue?  Microsoft is strategic.  People say they are losing 
market share because of dropping the Start button, so they are adding it 
in the next version.  Is Ubuntu losing market share because of Unity? 
Maybe, but not so much that they will act to fix it.
