It is probably a simple oversight. Had you reported it, it could no doubt
be fixed easily (Miquel has indicated that he has already fixed some things
as necessary). I don't think a simple bug such as this is sufficient
to comment on the quality of the entire program.
Miquel and others have indicated similarly user base sizes to you without
problems, which is strange.
