I for one didn't find your comment "snarky" at all.

Many people are so "religious" about open source that they interpret a
(IMO perfectly valid in certain circumstances) suggestion to use COTS
software as an insult to the recipient. Sometimes such a suggestion is
meant that way, e.g. "Maybe you should just stick with Windows" may be
intended to infer "what a wimp/idiot, isn't able/willing to learn
*nix".

But I took your suggestion as perfectly valid - if a user takes the
attitude that a program "should have" well-written documentation
designed for non-technical users to understand, and any program that
doesn't is somehow deficient in his eyes, then perhaps he would be
better served as a paying customer of a company he then has the right
to complain to.

My two cents to the OP - In the open-source world, if you think
something's missing don't complain - jump in there and do it yourself,
or sponsor someone else to do it.

Your English is excellent!
