This is not true: without developer it would decay, with lots of devs and
no user (admittedly, a paradoxical situation) qgis would be just as good :)

And users do a lot of effort on using QGIS, as they often must deal

This is not true: anybody can use trunk from previous day, with no effort,
even on windows.

Correct: I just posted such an acknowledgement. But there are thousands of
users that do not contribute the slightest to the project; this is a
weakness of all free project, and their own responsibility.
If all QGIS users would be as active as you, lots of problems would be
already solved.
All the best, and keep on helping!
