> Unfortunately I'm not a coder, but in my experience keeping the
code easily maintainable is critical, particularly for a volunteer based
program.  If moving to Subsurface 5 results in a more unified environment
for desktop and mobile, then that seems like a great improvement for those
who maintain this fantastic tool.  I'm all for keeping those guys sane
because my contributions are so limited.
