The thing I dislike the most about the Linux world is how free software/developers are somehow exempt from any kind of criticism because it is "developed by volunteers."

I completely agree with you. It's generally bad form to complain about something that is provided to you free of charge but sometimes even then criticism can be warranted. There is a tendency to immediately swat away any kind of criticism of a project or even just a particular developer's behavior with "how dare you complain about free software!!!".
Criticism is fine, as long as it's constructive and not to the tune of "these volunteers are not volunteering to my satisfaction".
