Kind of off-topic, but, since this thread seems to be just guesses and "emotionally answered" questions, it just occurred to me to know what would be the average age of the Darktable core dev-team? I'm a programmer, myself, for about 32 years almost. I'm 51. I used to be very good in C, around 1990. Now I program in java and for business purposes, mainly. A software big and featurefull as DT is something like a dream, to me. But, for example, I've never heard about Cairo.
Anyway... ages?
