However, there should be someone caring about that parts afterwards. We had several big changes in the past where the main author wrote it and kept the bug hunting to others. I can say that I had to fight with motivation issues due to that. :-( > > - Maybe exclude some core developers who just don't have as much fun in C++ > > as in C > It might be a good chance for them to improve their skills a bit. > > My 5 cents, I prefer do not use love/hate words when it comes to > technical things. I for myself have technical reasons why I dislike C++. And I also have concerns about maintainability. Many times the encapsulating breaks necessary overview. About the UI design. I tried myself once to redo it with glade. However, I dropped it as it just binds so many resources that I can spend for better stuff. But I agree, that a more OO design would help for UI stuff. Other stuff would not gain any improvement and, worse, loose it. So, conclusion, if you have something that can be done in C++ and you want to do it, go ahead. Especially if you stay with the project and maintain that stuff afterwards. :-) But just converting existing logic into C++ for no need would not help I think.
