To complete what others have been telling you. Even though it is true that GIMP was the primary reason to create babl and GEGL, I believe GIMP being the only one using these is definitely not the intent. The more software use these, the better it will be. These are generic APIs, not tied to GIMP codebase in any way. And some software are already making good use of these. As for API stability, as Alexandre said, I think it can still evolve, though it is reaching a state where it will move less and less, and I believe the stability state is not too far. So that's a good time to start, and if you are regularly coding on your own project and checking out GEGL changes, that should not be too much of a problem. Also clearly stability will gain from the more software using different pieces from GEGL and reporting back any issue. So this may not be the best API for one-shot projects (right now, because it is meant to be too at some point), then forgetting about it and hoping it will work the same for years. But it is definitely good for long term projects, since you follow up regularly. All this to say, go ahead if you want to use this, but keep an eye regularly for evolution.
