Investors don't care about 3d party GUIs. In fact, the RPC builds don't even work for me at all and non-RPC isn't really more user friendly than simplewallet CLI.
For that QT-GUI not even compiled builds exist. Not user-friendly at all.
I'm not holding a huge amount, but I'd definitely donate for a working Windows compile by dev team in alpha stadium.
"Investors" is a misnomer. They don't pay our salaries, and the majority of them have hardly donated to Monero development.
Nonetheless, as the past two weeks have demonstrated there are fundamental things we have to get right BEFORE we can even think about finalising our GUI. Work has not stopped on it, but we are spending less time on it and more time on fundamentals.
Thinking the devs or the core team or whoever supports a coin should care about "Investors" is a fallacy inherited from the 99.9% of crap that compose altcoinsland.
I am grateful fluffy and other developers don't see Monero holders as investors, and don't sell shiny promises to whoever sees him/herself as such.
In fact they do the exact opposite, and that is one of the things that makes Monero different. If you disagree with the priorities and directions taken by the team, I suggest you go back to the 99.9%.
Note that nobody said that having a GUI was bad, it is just not an urgent priority, and there are good reasons for that.
