What LarsG said. You want something half-baked and ornery, sure, 6 months'll do it. You want something well-thought-out, designed, planned, tested, stable, cross-platform and ready for use, 6 months is just about enough to hash out the overall design.
Add to this the fact that you need to address bugfixes and wrap up the GUI module, it's pretty impressive these guys can crank stuff out as quickly as they do.
We paid all of eighty bucks for a pretty damned good product. It's not like Mark is making money hand over fist; he can't just up and hire more grunts to tackle this stuff unless he were to increase the price. Sure, I'm antsy for the bugfixes, but I'm also quite aware of the fact that I got Blitz for a song, and that Mark can only do so much with the resources he has. Give 'im a break.
