Only took 21 months; but they fixed the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing bug I found with EF Core and SQLite.
https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/11961[^]
It was a solid year and a half after the project in question ended; but is still a nice end to an otherwise bleh week.

Of the bug reports I have filed, they have only acknowledged one of them and it took two whole new OS versions for it to be fixed. To another one I filed, they replied that behavior is by design. I then stated that behavior is inconsistent with these cases and they replied, "oh."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I got lucky. Brice (the dev who finally fixed it) confirmed it was a bug when I initially posted for help on Stackoverflow. It was only an ~50 line fix; so it wasn't a hard problem to solve, just not particularly high priority so it kept getting punted to v.next.
On my side I just needed to keep reverting the bugged generation via git after each DB update. If the project hadn't ended I'd've probably changed up how I was doing the DB project at some point to avoid the nuisance.

Isn't it open source? Could have fixed it yourself

Exactly my same thought. If you are using an Open Source software and find a bug, go fix it and open a pull request to contribute back.

 Dan ... MS should pay you for that: an initial sum, plus interest for every month the issue is not fixed, or, resolved in a matter satisfactory to the dev who reported it.

So, now the question is, what did they break in the process of fixing it?

I was going to say that, but I look through the replies to make sure I'm not repeating someone else's brilliantly witty reply!

I'd bet that most devs who complain about Microsoft's bugs would feel different if their own customers complained about their bugs the same way they complain about Microsoft's.

And when you have as many products and customers as Microsoft has then you might have some understanding as well. 
I'm not defending them nor offending you. I just find it interesting that lots of devs hold Microsoft to a much higher level than they hold themselves, or at least that is how it appears.

I was working under VM on an IBM mainframe and found an error in a feature of one of the system utilities.
I reported same to IBM and got the IBM solution a mere six weeks later!
Before you get to thinking of that as fairly impressive, the solution was a new page for the manual saying that feature was no longer supported!
Note: Back then the manuals were actually printed on real paper neatly organised in a set of ring binders. Ah, the good old days.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

It's being politicised, so you can expect poor reactions from some sectors.
Just ignore. Most people are good people, and not so loudly obnoxious.

"Being politicised" means that certain people (who have no moral values or honour in their blood) are using it to make political points, and boost their own agendas.

Welcome to modern America. The politicians don't care about the people they represent, only their agenda's and undercut each other. For a good example, watch "House of Cards".

There's a ship parked in a Japanese harbor which, if re-filled with politicians (to replace the sick and dying passengers) would quickly re-adjust their attitudes (one way or another).

Be fair, most politicians are saying and doing the right things, so we don't need that big a boat (which is good, because small ones are easier to sink).
