So you have obviously not even taken the time to look at the code before you started to write your mostly pointless accusations. Someone told you that MVC design is the solution for everything and now you are spreading the word? Do you even know what you are talking about? I don't think so. > > So... all of this is possible.

Such an architecture is already in place (as you would know if you had taken the time to look at the code). The point is just that about 70% of the code is UI code (and a lot of that code uses model-view-controller concepts, yeah). So, if you are willing to rewrite those 70% then you can build a different UI on top of the GIMP core. This thread is not appropriate for the gimp-user list, please stop it here. Questions about the code and the short and long-term plans for GIMP development can be brought up and discussed on the gimp-developer list. To the anonymous poster who started it, can you now please unsubscribe yourself from this list and take your pointless ramblings elsewhere? Thank you.
