Having no way to file a bug is better than pretending to have one which just gets filed to /dev/null. At least that way I don't waste time writing bug reports.


My personal stats on feedback assistant:

6 bugs filed

4 of those were fixed or went away. 2 were marked as closed, 2 are marked open but were fixed anyways.

1 is a bug that still affects me occasionally.

1 was a one-off bug in a rare case that i haven't seen since.

So my experience is pretty far from it being /dev/null.


My personal stats:

26 filed.

12 open and still relevant

1 that became irrelevant without ever being fixed (an iOS 7 specific problem).

5 fixed bugs in vim bindings in Xcode.

4 clang/libc++ bugs fixed upstream which eventually got pulled into the Xcode version.

4 other bug fixed

Reporting vim binding issues during the Xcode 13 beta was a good use of time, but outside of those I'm 4/21 for reporting something to feedback assistant/radar doing anything.
