No, but they care what libraries are included with their plug-and-play distribution (where said distro's maintainers *do* care what libs are used by whatever acct package they choose to support). If said distro decides to stop supporting gnome1, gc is gone also unless there's a new gc version which doesn't require gnome1. > Ok, I think I'm starting to see where we disagree. You think that the > survival of GC depends on maintaining *users*. I believe they're also talking about developers. I, for one, would like to see a stable, used version of g2 out there, such that my coding (if I could program worth a damn) would continue to be used, seen, and therefore tested by current users. > The *linux* app. market is not so much like that.

This does not match what I hear from regular users (non-computer-savvy). They follow whatever their distro vendor provides for the most part. "The distro doesn't have an accounting package? Woops, I can't use Linux then. Back to Windows."
