I am not stating that _I_ will ask that GUI beautification shall
become top priority. I won't! I just had to emphasise how little
bearing our view on the GUI has on the newcomer's view on the GUI.
We will be told time and again that the GUI should be "fixed".
I have no brilliant suggestions as to what our responses should be,
or how it can be remedied in the short term.
Potential users and developers think Cinelerra is "stuck in the 90s"
because of its GUI. Users believe the whole application must suck at
least as much as its GUI. Developers don't think it's worthwhile to
learn about a GUI toolkit that is only used for _one_ application.
Bottom line: To many users and coders, Cinelerra doesn't LOOK worthy
of their time and effort.
For my two cents, the reasons Cinelerra doesn't seem to be worth my time
and effort are:
- It crashes.
- It won't build.
- It can't handle DV.
- It's not open source.
I can only say "amen"!
(The rest of you: please read Matt's extensive
rationale, which I have cut away for brevety)
