Whether I talk to the developers or not depends very much on the story. For reviews, I often try to reflect the reactions of average users, so far as I can extrapolate them. Generally speaking, software should stand on its own.
By contrast, in article that is more about events and trends in the free software community -- like this one -- the input of developers becomes relevant.
