Id > like to hear other developers opinions on this. I'm a big fan of open source, but I am also a big fan of interaction design and usability. For me it is not only software stability that is important, I want things to be pleasant to use as well. Once 2.8 is out I want to focus on GEGL integration. I won't be able to do that if we have a half-baked implementation of the single-window mode UI overhaul, so I support guiguru's wish to do what it takes to fix e.g. the problems the current tabs has before we release 2.8. Yes, development of 2.8 has taken a long time, but it has also turned into a remarkable release. I expect 2.8 to be the stable version for a long time, so we should give it the development time it deserves.
