You mean removing sense of humour? No thanks. But I can see they work.

Stop bragging, mine fits into a csv file.

The justification by Apple is that it keeps the concentricity between window corner and the red/green/yellow window controls. Which, as you may notice, it does.

It's wrong though, because the window is the higher element in the hierarchy (container) and should not be affected by what is inside. It creates a larger inconsistency than the "consistency" it supposedly brings.

Owning stock?

Sunk cost fallacy. It didn't work out, the decision was made, they move on. I like that.

Now at least parts of it are paged out...

I loved Coffee Run and the BCON24 Identity. Brilliant stuff. When it comes to Blender itself the only regret I have is that they ended support for Intel Macs but I understand it's a burden to support older platforms.

Sadly mac-assedness doesn't automatically mean feature richness or overall robustness. Those are actually quite hard to achieve when you spend half of each year updating the UI widgets to the latest SDK and fixing new performance problems you didn't cause. That should be clear when you compare Affinity Photo and Pixelmator Pro.

Regarding the "searchability" point: I tried using the Google search field on the left to search for "openbao", which is listed right below as one of the topics. Got 0 results. Second time I tried, I got a reCaptcha from Google itself: a first in years. That's not very reassuring.

I guess it depends a lot on the use cases. I've used both the original Pixelmator app and the "Pro" may have been a rewrite internally but it didn't feel like a significant step up for me at the time, more like a rebrand and a way to charge for it again. And so many bugs. The development team did respond to a few of my bug reports, which was nice.

Maybe. Form over function, not a surprise.

It's a pity Apple didn't choose to acquire Affinity when there was a chance. Pixelmator Pro looks like a toy app compared to Logic or Final Cut. I don't see how it could ever catch up to Photoshop. Even at such small scale it's always been very buggy in my experience and development seems to have stalled (apart from some obligatory AI features).

I am glad the standalone purchases are still available and I assume they will stay updated in sync with the subscription-based ones. I would hate my copy of Logic getting slowly obsolete..

I don't see any connection between catching up and being a dead end.

I think Ladybird is becoming more than that. It's actually helping set the web standard specifications straight in many cases and a from-scratch implementation will have its own advantages once it catches up. Which it will. There's no permanent winner as long as the standards are open.

I'm guessing the DisplayPort is there to support the original Valve Index directly.
