Vala is similar to C#. Therefore I thought it would be easier and save time to convert the mono code to Vala code instead of to search for C/C++ code and convert these for effects. I agree that shotwell should not depends on mono environment. Only modify the mono code in order to run it under Vala.
I agree it would be nice to have something simple and quick to improve photos like the new iPhoto on IOS ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HKgK6iupls ). There have even an improvement for Side by side editing and how quick it is to show original photo.
