When Kon Colivas introduced a scheduler optimized for desktop latency, about 15 years ago, the amount of abuse he got from Linux developers was astonishing, and he ended up quitting for good. I remember compiling it on my laptop and noticing how it made a huge improvement in the useability of X and desktop environment.
This also really bugs me. To be fair, the gcc people are unkind to both servers and laptops.
