I for one am glad that someone with a more holistic approach takes this on, even if Aurélien is really snarky. Darktable really is a usability mess and is easy to use incorrectly.

I'm also glad he is taking donations, since the darktable project won't take any. It gives me hope that this would give him the freedom in actually implementing his vision.

Agreed. Darktable has always been an impressive project, produced great results, great features and the UI was IMHO above average for an open source project. But it did suffer from lack of holistic view, many features were kind of duplicated across modules and it was unclear what's the best way to do things. It seemed like people had a lot of freedom to implement their own thing in modules.

I think Aurélien's snarkiness is quite distasteful and might prevent getting some of them on board. But he has a proven track record and I believe he can execute his vision, so I will be donating as well.
