Too many bugs go unfixed for years. I wasted 6 hours today. I don’t have the time to waste on something unproductive. Will not waste another second.

Old, old bug: items in .stignore on all sync points show as incompletely syncing forever.

This has been reported since at least 2020.

You don’t need to care or fix it on my account or for so many others to report it. We all make our choices.

Ok bye

Thanks for announcing your departure.

(It’s working well for me.)

It is unfortunate that some issues are frustrating you so much.

All software has bugs (AFAIK), and some times fixing one is unfathomably complicated. But thankfully, the open source software allows the world to contribute and help each other on fixing the issues/bugs that might show up.

Again, it is unfortunate that this system has not been able to get this software to the level that you desire, and I tend to assume that most people who are annoyed do not try to do anything about it to actually help in fixing that.

So, if you did not read the agreement that came with this software, I encourage you to do it.

The maintainers are human and have a life to live. I assume they don’t owe you anything, except thanks for reporting actual bugs, because they are artists and love to perfect their work, when they have the time and desire to work on it.

Thank you for sharing your story here. This is a place for good and bad experiences, but I hope that you would try to stay and help instead of saying “I’m fed of it, I’m leaving”.

This might come across as a snark but it’s not … May I suggest finding some time for a 10 day Goenka retreat? [www.dhamma.org](http://www.dhamma.org)?
