in my opinion Windows is a poor and awfully designed operating system. However more stupid would be Windows users getting upset because of my opinion.
They are right to get upset if you cannot give any reason for your opinion and are just bad-mouthing Windows. I don't think the design of the Windows kernel is specifically worse than that of e.g. Linux.
The reasons for the sometimes bad experience while using Windows are rather multifold. The instabilty of older Windows versions was e.g. almost always the fault of crappy third-party drivers. The other problem is the target audience for Windows. Maybe it is not the right kind of software for you. That doesn't mean it is not the right software for somebody.

Now, Anki users getting upset and attacking someone/s because in their opinion Anki is a poorly designed software, well, that is beyond pathetic, that earns you a mayor kicking loser title.
Openly stating that a specific user is just trying to cause a ruckus is not pathetic. You, sir, are a troll and proclaming this truth is a good thing, so nobody else mistakenly feeds you.

It's true I offered no solutions, just criticism.
Which means you offered nothing. We already know that no software is perfect. Don't expect applause for telling us the obvious. If how know how to make Anki better, then please do or just shut up.

But again, I already contacted the developer unsuccessfully so I am definetely not forking Anki to implement my vision of a better UI.
As I see it you only harassed him. You have no vision of a better UI. You only have your discomfort and anger. There is nothing Damien can do about those, except get annoyed.

I decided to build a OSX native application incorporating the best of everything out there along with my own ideas and the suggestions I have received in the forums.
What ideas? What suggestions? Are we talking about the same forum?
Besides why don't you just create a OSX GUI for libanki? libanki is the SRS backend of ankiqt (the QT4 GUI of Anki). There are already quite a few other GUIs that reuse libanki. There is even a webserver (called ankimini) that allows you to use the features of libanki with every browser (even the one on your iphone).
