The other people don't deserve kindness. Their work is crap. 
Fontforge has gone nowhere for ten years ... no, I take that back,. 
It has gone *backwards* for ten years because acne-riddled 
teeny-boppers living in Mom's garage are too concerned with how cool 
they are and not how well the software builds or how well it works 
or how thorough and accurate the documents are or ... anything. Just 
how many strokes they can get in on their pee-pees.

Just the facts, ma'am. People are better off pulling down an 
'ancient' version  in a format you can actually *use* without 
spending your life on nonsense (most of which does not work) and 
going with that.

Look around : what will you see ? People who spend years making a 
mess, then deciding "Oh this doesn't work, we need to make a new 
one." Maybe if you had a real plan and standards and goals and 
testing in the first place, people wouldn't have to ditch Fontforge 
for a bunch of vaporware (which will *also* be a pile of crap 
because "modern" development couldn't find its ass with both hands 
in a dark room. "Modern" is apparently a synonym for incoherent, 
unstable, undocumented, disorganized pointless *shit*, and I can 
illustrate that a hundred times over.)

We were better off in 1980.

I wish this were not true, but it is. Demonstrably.

Cruel to be kind, ya know ?
