Re: [gthumb-list] Memories of gthumb

Ah, the reward is happy and satisfied users.  And shouldn't be that much 
work unless
the code base is a mess.

Developers of course think this isn't necessary because the program 
already does things
in the way they like.  And of course it does because they wrote it.

Users on the other hand have different ways of wanting to do things, and 
sometimes
actual needs that the developers never anticipated.

This kind of feature is what I call "meta-coding".  Rather than 
providing end user code
cast in concrete, you provide a feature that users can use in unexpected 
ways.
I always find meta-coding more interesting than cast in concrete grunt 
work coding.
