Yeah, that's totally normal for a mature application. Better get used to it.
> At this moment I'm slightly beginning to get crazy from the daily mails of users (read managers) for each application I have to maintain.
Maybe not normal, but common. It's really up to you to manage your business relationships and teach people how to work with you. How well you learn to do so will largely determine your happiness with your career.
> The sad thing is I have yet to receive a bug report on anything that I have coded myself...
Don't get cocky now. It'll happen.
> P.S. My salary is almost equal if not lower then that of a cashier at a supermarket.
That's not normal. Even a first job should pay better.
In summary: demand more money now, give up on the code quality crusade, and concentrate on learning to work with people.
