Neary says that he hasn't written any code in quite a while. The Latest versions of gimp have shown serious improvements, both in image quality, and, program features. If results are the benchmark, then gimp is indeed better off without Dave Neary.

Probably a thought I shouldn't have posted, but true non the less.

Believe me, I have those thoughts more often than I would like to admit.

OTOH --

Group dynamics are a very tricky thing. Neary may have done a lot of good things that we will never know about. And let us not forget -- There is one HELL of a lot more to software development than coding.

Let's just say there are probably more polite ways to phrase the concept. :) Since tact is not exactly one of my strong points, I can hardly throw stones though.
