It doesn't tell the user that core dumps without reproducer are worthless in most cases but blindly sends out reports
Parts of the Fedora user base "abuse" ABRT in that they refuse to fill in the empty fields. Blame the reporters not the tool. It's too easy for such people to open tickets via ABRT and then ignore a maintainer's NEEDINFO request. It's disheartening in some cases, but it's a people-problem not a tool-problem.
Also, this produces incomplete traceback in many (IMO all) cases.
Cannot confirm that. There seem to be some issues with not finding the needed debuginfo packages, which may be related to frequent updates of repos and older packages getting pruned. It may also be related to users updating their boxes at strange times, e.g. seldomly but immediately after a crash.
