Thanks, that should *definitely* be made clear. GIMP is most impressive. GTK+ is not. Though as a NeXTSTEP and Newton developer perhaps I had too high an expectation of GTK+.

like the N800 I tried to be fair and reasonable, exorcising most of
my snark, but sometimes I couldn't help myself, sorry.

Before I made the site public, I thought I'd post it to the
developers' group and ask for some comments, agreements, and
disagreements.  The site URL may change afterwards.

This sentence makes it difficult to take things seriously:
"The N800 employs the GTK+ toolkit, originally created for the GIMP
photo-manipulation program and bearing all the hallmarks of inexpert
design."

It's also not clear whether you are criticising GTK+ (just a toolkit) or GIMP (It's UI is getting better all the time and I'm sure they'd welcome
constructive criticism).
