I wish the people writing image editing applications would take this more seriously, because to my mind the file format is more important than the application, but there you are.

- thejohnconway 6y agoWas UTF8 in development for 15 years without a 1.0? I don’t really know enough about it to interpret the Wikipedia page on its history. In any case, that would be good if it could eventually win out, but personally I feel it was started too late, and not had enough buy-in.
