VIPS has been great to work with. The docs are generally very good and the performance has been great. The author (https://github.com/jcupitt/) has always been responsive to issues and questions and seems to be constantly working on the project.

My only, relatively minor quibble, is dev work happening on master, but when it's largely a one-man project who am I to judge. So far we haven't come across any problems that weren't either self-inflicted or already fixed in master.
