Solving these problems instead of excusing them will make the difference between the effort being a hobby and something that can earn money for the authors.

Couple of small points.
The game wasnt designed. It evolved gradually. From a BASIC game on an Atari, thru C on Unix, thru C+ on Linux. For that its not a bad result. Some "design flaws" have been acknowledged by the devs as items which would require a complete rewrite.
And, the goal here was never to move from hobby to money-maker. That does have a part in understanding why some things got fixed and others didnt.
