Lotus stopped even caring about what their customers needed, not just wanted. It's not a matter of listening to the loudest yells and doing that - if they did that Apple would not exist.
Snow Leopard is Apple setting up what their customers need. Not want.
And I guarantee you, despite a few minor issues here and there, the outcome of it is a massively more stable codebase to build on, and many many little but significant usability, reliability, performance and security enhancements.
They're going somewhere with it - they just aren't saying where yet.
