Don't take as that, really. We got just lack of manpower.  I for instance
would like to see those features implemented, but who will? I might, in the
future, as soon as I finish the features that I'm trying to add now... But
I can't add now anything before finishing the port to qt because if I try
to do that, I'll never finish the software.

> I and as many as 2-300 others have had these features in MSDOS and
Windows or Linux and DOSBOX for 25 years.  I don't like losing them but
since I have no interest in forking and all that goes with that, I guess
they are not going to happen.

Why don't you help me on the port and as soon as we finish it, we discuss
about a next version with your ideas? I plan to do a "plugin" module to
subsurface, and this ideas of you could be easily integrated as plug-ins.

etc. and perhaps I can still find a way to contribute.

Help the port, I will really appreciate it. =)

> Is there anywhere I can look back and see the reasons you have decided to
migrate to Qt?

Lack of support from experienced gtk developers, lack of native look on osx
and win32, non stable API of gtk3, lack of manpower,  bugs that were hard
to workaround name a few. But on gtalk you can see on dirk Hohndel time
line his call for qt developers.

true for digi-geeks.
