[OnePlus 5T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ap6709:
Even though I have never donated a penny for any custom ROM used till date, especially RR, but I do hold the developers in high regard from the bottom of my heart because once upon a time I started to compile a ROM (according to RR's tutorial) for my own "not so popular" device and then became aware of the enormous hardware+software+time which has to be dedicated to just get the ROM to boot and so I quickly gave up.

I hold high regards to all developers of custom ROMs because it is due to them that our ageing devices can be used longer than the company expects and this way we do save some money and not get into the loop of purchasing a smartphone very 1 or 1.5 years apart.

Still then if you are not happy with any custom ROM, ethically you can point out the bugs in a constructive manner and not blame the developer for providing you with a troubled piece of software because you have been warned and very well warned of even a "nuclear explosion" happening due to the custom flashing process.

As far as your opinion of "stock ROM is best" counts today, it may not be true as at some point of time your smartphone manufacturing company will stop upgrading your Android version and soon you will be either forced to flash a custom ROM/sell it away to a douche bag/throw it away in bin/keep it forever in such a safe place that you are able to find it at least after 25 years.

Please don't spoil the reputation of developers/dishearten them/do anything while brings their morale down.

-A genuine request from a sincere & regular flasher.
