GIMP is [Free Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), but even before this, it is people:
the ones who create it, the ones who create _with_ it… We don't have accurate statistics and we take pride on
not gathering your data. Yet we know (through other websites that have logged partial statistics over the
years) that this is a widely used piece of software, by millions of people around the world. So wouldn't it
be neat to meet some of the individuals who make this project come alive?
Some people think there's a huge company behind GIMP. This is not the case.
-GIMP has always been developed by a handful of random people scattered around the world.
+GIMP has always been developed by a handful of random people scattered around the world.
Most of them are volunteers and none of them work on it full-time.
As an insider myself, I've wanted to launch a series of interviews with the many awesome people I've met
since I started contributing. So who better to start with than our own benevolent dictator, GIMP maintainer,
and the biggest code contributor: **Michael Natterer**, aka "mitch".

About using other languages: why not? There is Rust. There is maybe simpler stuff for doing user interfaces,
but making such decisions for a codebase the size of GIMP is not something we can decide based on _"the
latest hot stuff"_.
+I mean, look at this javascript mess.
+Is that really better? Just because it's easier?
+Easier just means that more clueless people can write code, and they are clueless enough already.
+So making is easier doesn't make it better.
+Arrogant but true.

_S: Anything else you want to change?_
**M:** Yes a lot of stuff as long as _**I**_ don't have to do all the changes, because I really have enough
things to do already *(laughs)*.
+You can be maintainer of whatever subpart, please.
+**Please.** Take away the work from me.
All contributors need to realize that if they do something really well, they will be in charge of that part.
_J: That's a very good point._
