I am rather shocked. For someone who doesn't really know me, that's some
pretty bold statements. But then again, I've come to expect that from
you, dear Sven, so I don't really take it too seriously. You are still
upset from when I called you an asshole about a year ago. :)

On the side note, one thing that could use serious serious improvement is
the preferences dialog. I think, the "Tree" structure of organizing
preferences is truly confusing. Reserve tree structures for directory
lists and things like that. Someone using the Gimp for the first time
would expect preferences dialog to look something similar to a tabbed
notebook where each setting is grouped by section, which occupies one tab
of the notebook, etc. Also isn't it a bit extreme to have a separate
window for each "directory" the Gimp uses? Wouldn't it be much more
"intuitive" to group them all inside one section, or allow selection from
a combo box, or something along these lines? All of that again could be
grouped under the "Directories" tab on the preferences notebook. I know
this "tree preferences" stuff was popularized by that obsolete desktop
environment called "Gnome" but still, that doesn't mean you have to
blindly copy losing designs.
