The problem is that ImageMagick was clearly the image handling software of choice for years and years. So you rationally build a solution on it, then you find a bug (often a regression caused by an upgrade), and then there is no support for it. That sucks, and changing to another project that happens to be well-supported this week doesn't really fix the core gripe.
- npsimons 14y agoI was about to say something similar; last I checked, ImageMagick was far from dead or "just one guy". As I was reading TFA, I was thinking "Okay, two projects I haven't heard of, might be one offs" but then his retelling of his experience with ImageMagick made me sit up and take notice. If it's really this bad, it might be time for someone else to take it over.
- plorkyeran 14y agoImageMagick has been just one guy ever since the GraphicsMagick fork in 2002.
