What's not to like about the GNU C library? It's used on the vast majority of GNU+Linux distributions. > Lots of other old, weird, and/or semi-abandoned projects too like Taler, ... GNU Taler is none of these things. > And where does this "everything but the kitchen sink" mentality come from with respect to options and configuration in GNU programs? Did you know that GNU Emacs had an overflowing kitchen sink as its logo for a while? (I still prefer that logo over the current logo, actually.)

> GNU Emacs had an overflowing kitchen sink as its logo oh wow, http://ergoemacs.org/misc/emacs_overflowing_kitchen_sink_icon.html http://ergoemacs.org/misc/emacs_overflowing_kitchen_sink_ico... pretty nice, and with dataflow !

GNU Taler Always happy to stand corrected on these kinds of things. When it was posted here recently I got the impression that nobody was using it for much of anything, nor would they. Then again I should know better than to put too much stock in comments here. It's full of people like me repeating things they don't understand...
