Then instead of bitching about the tools or the attitude of developers, which does nothing, why not work to encourage people to support it properly?
For example: I think personal donations can only go so far. I'd rather see an easier sell for simple "support packages" that developers can recommend to their organization that helps further development. "We're really invested in package X and it'd be great to be listed as a supporter on their page, it's cheap marketing and they'll help us with technical support issues! We could try a $50/mo. subscription..."
Compared to $50K annual server licences that's an easy sell if it can be phrased in a culturally compatible way.
