I must somehow agree here. I remember looking at the code more closely a while ago. Initially I applauded the separation. But then I discovered that the core/engine/whatever was too much linked with the GUI. Specifically I remember the menu layout being specified in the GUI-independent part, this did really put me off. I was hoping to find a much more generic core/engine where one can then build several UI's on. For example, why should it not be possible to build two GTK GUI's that look different? Appart from that I must agree with everyone else in this thread: thanks for keeping up the great work! Personally I have wanted to get involved a few times but mostly haven't because of a lack of time.
