I'm glad you guys aren't upset with me for not being as enthusiastic about the GTK2 revival as everyone else, and seem to get where I'm coming from.\n>\n> It sounds like you guys are a bit more serious about this, and are possibly creating a whole distro around the idea.\n\nOh no, not mad at all, it was a good and thoughtful post with very valid reservations, ones that even some of us on the team have had. We knew going into it that folks would be leery about it and with good reason. But i'd like to assure you we're not just old curmudgeons pining away for a long lost era, best analogy I can give being an old gearhead is we are dragging a vintage muscle car out of the barn it was parked in, and instead of doing a basic re-build we are doing a resto-mod, adding better and more modern engine parts, improved suspension and handling so it's not just a straight-line ride. It's actually been very exciting, there's a lot to do but watching it come to life is a great experience, Daemonratte has really outdone himself on this one, his work ethic and enthusiasm are very inspiring and our crew is growing as a result.\n\nScreenie of Pale Moon running on gtk2-ng, click for the larger version, I was so tickled you guys are still doing a gtk2 version!:\n\n\n\n* * *",
