Yes, these sound like excellent reasons to port Gimp to Gtk+ 2.0 as soon as possible after the Gtk+ team release the first stable version. But for some reason people want to do it... tomorrow? next week? So, now I have some more questions * Can you 100% guarantee that Gtk+ HEAD builds and runs? If not, every time it's red we stall work on Gimp. That's no good. * Can you 100% guarantee that APIs are frozen? How about ABIs? If not we have to screen out errors caused by mis-matched versions on a daily basis just as some projects did during 1.1.x. It is painful. I appreciate that Gtk+ hackers would love a big project like Gimp to be running on 2.0 from day zero, but I am no longer interested in Gtk+ development, I'm a user and I don't have time to fight with it during the few moments I can spare to fix Gimp bugs. Of course my views don't count for much, but you asked for them :) Nick.
