It's really possible to argue against this. If ones entitled to or if it's a good thing if one would be is another question though. In a circle of developers it obviously makes a certain amount of sense. You give something and you get another thing back one way or the other. Mere users certainly don't fit the picture though.
They gain nothing and are hardly going to contribute much of anything. Like i said if they can be arsed to even get productive at all it'll mostly be testing, suggestions and maybe attracting other developers to the project. I admit it's kinda nice when someone is happy with what you did too but then some nice and fuzzy feeling alone is not going to get you very far.
