At least allow me to make said "shitty mistake" first If you read the post - you'll know its slated for Q2, and we've given strong technical reasons for the *why*. If you think a project should continue to use the wrong technology for the job at hand while integrating into a moving closed ecosystem also on the back of a dead language, then sure, please, fork Budgie. (Like that one dude.)
If however you want to see a project grow, and leverage existing technology to solve real world problems, then wait for Q2 and see how it goes. Right now we're focused on fixing
what is already there in the 10.x branch to get a last LTS-ish release out to give us more time to work on v11. Part of that includes a reduction in Vala sloc, notably in the window manager. Once v11 rolls around, not part of the Solus codebase (which also includes the Budgie codebase, but is far, far larger), will include any Vala projects. Like everyone else, we also saw the writing on the wall, and have been planning a transition for quite some time. (I'm not accelerating it, we still do have a timeline to follow.)

Nice deflecting, btw.
I point out that Trump and his fan base are more Socialist than self-proclaimed Socialists, you call me a leech.
Looks like I've hit a sore spot there.

We'll see. He's not more Socialist than Clinton or Obama.

FOX is also a cross-platform and extremely fast. Quite a lot of big name companies use it as well (see their website for examples). And it has way less bugs.
Code:Image { source: "https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards.png" opacity: status === Image.Ready ? 1 : 0 Behavior on opacity { NumberAnimation {} } Text { anchors.bottom: parent.bottom text: "I'm also here" } }
PS
I've tried to find some example for it now, and of course, pain in the ass. Just make some example and documentation if you have a library, like this http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-image.html
for qml you can just google
qml image
qml text
qml behaviour
and you will get official documentation and all examples
nobody should study library to understand some part for more time than it takes to develop that part, at least not 10 times longer, imho

Really, nobody cares about documentation and examples. And when it comes to speed of development and understanding, nothing will really beat this (loads image with animation and shows text below):
