I recall being both inspired and depressed by that talk. Inspired
because the work they'd done was great, but depressed because it
served as a perfect example of how open source projects sometimes fail
their users. The only reason cinepaint exists at all was because the
gimp developers wouldn't even acknowledge the needs of some of their
users, let alone address those needs in a timely manner.
