Hear hear. I've been reading this thread and this is precisely what I would have liked to have said, but I'm not a developer so it's not my place to say. But even to an outsider, it seems that both communication and code exchange with HV is much, much too infrequent, and that this is holding things back. Btw. regarding the debate about the graphical interface and the style of icons, I'd suggest people take a look at the Jokosher project. Jokosher is an recording studio / nonlinear editor for audio, and it has very much focused on usability from the start. Imagine a first-time user trying to use something like Jokosher on one hand and something like Cinelerra on the other. I _like_ the concept and efficiency of the Cinelerra interface, but the GUI is ugly, hard to read and feels needlessly foreign in places where it could easily follow the conventions of common Linux apps (e.g. GNOME / KDE human interface guidelines). This is about much more than looking pretty, it truly is about usability and following interface conventions. I think there is a lot of low-hanging fruit that Cinelerra could pick relatively easily. It wouldn't be necessary to change toolkits or anything.
