CinePaint was a stealth project for years. It's now available in many of the major distros and BSDs. Can you state a specific concern about CinePaint's visibility? What should I do about it? When people say they prefer GIMP -- or any other paint tool -- I naturally become curious why. Not seeking arguments, just wondering. Most of the feedback I get from GIMP users is that they don't like CinePaint because of GTK1. I don't like GTK1 either and we're changing that -- though not to GTK2 like GIMP. The other feedback from GIMP is we should be just like them. That, of course, would be pointless. > I certainly look forward to a closer relationship to move CinePaint > forward.... Thanks, appreciate that!
