GIMP's Porting To GTK3 Continues

[gens]

Frankly... nonsense. If I have two programs with the same design and I have more developers on one team than another, the program with more developers is going to be developed faster. The only caveat is that which is described by "9 women can't make a baby pop out in 1 month" because there are some problems that can't be solved that way. Otherwise the disparities can usually be explained by architecture, technical debt, or analysis paralysis (particularly in the form of bikeshedding).

90% of work done in porting GIMP to GEGL was by two people in one night.
The other 90% is just exposing it in the UI and testing/bugfixing.


I'm a proponent of architecture planing and documentation.
Now try to write, draw and explain the architecture of GIMP. (including the whole and precise API)



"most work is done by three people when two of them are out for coffee"

There's a rumor they are getting money from Adobe to slow down the development.

there's a rumor phoronix forums attract all sorts of crazy people

more devs != faster development

in cases of average zero developers it does equal indeed

The guys developing proprietary like Photoshop also have it even more boring and they have less freedom to choose what they want to work on.

actually adobe guys have it less boring because they are using modern c++

Modern schmodern. I expect they limit themselves to what Visual Studio supports
