  "textContent": "> \"No, sorry, sir, you are working on a project for old people that like old stuff, you don't get to move it forward, you don't get to do anything except watch them worship their idol called GTK2, and scoff at your GTK2-atheism, at your non-belief. The GTK3 version won't be made better, there won't be a port to anything newer, this new fork will be used as an excuse to ignore modern Linux, all your work is going in the retro Linux bin as a toy for Slackware and Devuan users to play with. Sorry, that's what you get for working on UXP and thinking it was worthy of a serious investment of time! The kind of people that surround your project won't ever do anything but drag you backwards and scold you for wanting to support modern platforms, getting excited about every retro fork and lashing out at every deprecation. They'll keep pining for GTK2, for SSE2-only builds, and Windows XP, and never forgive you for moving forward. That's your potential userbase, and it's not the one you wanted, not the one you were working this hard for. Deal with it.\"\n\nMaybe you'd be happier where I work. VS2026, .NET 10, jQuery with tons of plugins etc. Lead dev recently recompiled some critical native libraries with VS2026 just because, so I guess pre-Win10 is going bye-bye in the next major release!\n\nEdit: Oh, I forgot, there's a bit of a retro touch with Subversion.\n\n* * *",
