Worth noting Aurélien was a Darktable dev, so he's not some outsider that's coming in like a wrecking ball. I think it's much to Linus' benefit that he's mellowed out over time. However I'm not going to be quick to condemn someone who's already contributed significantly to DT. You're quite a bit less motivated than I am to try Ansel I suppose. I found DT (and the devs' defense of their decisions) intolerable. To the extent that I got Ansel built on my mac. Aurélien indeed fixed some of my biggest complaints with DT, but unfortunately he ripped out some bits I actually wanted to use. At this point I suppose Ansel can go one of two ways: DragonFlyBSD or LibreSSL.
