Gaim Maintainer Rob Flynn Interviewed
gaimster writes "LinuxQuestions.org just interviewed gaim maintainer Rob Flynn. gaim version 1.0.0 was recently released and it has been the most active project on SourceForge for a while. In the interview, Rob explains what it's like to maintain such a popular project, how he got involved with gaim and what he thinks of some of the IM protocols that gaim supports. He also explains the Ebay auctions that gaim had a while back."
Its UI, GTK sucks, the damn thing doesnt even repaint if u are in a middle of a resize. Amaturish widget set.
Boohoo, the software you never paid for and did jack shit to support doesn't work with some idiotic protocol that no one uses anyway. Whine whine whine. Get a fucking life. Yeah, gaim sucks, which is why so many people use it. By the way, what have *you* written? The MSN spec is quote-unquote open, so why don't you write your own fucking im client?
Oh yeah, I remember. You're a lazy asshole who bitches rather than doing real work.
Typical KDE user; Cares about looks over functionality.

Heh. ``Asshat'' is the perfect word to describe what Sean acted like there.
I found that out a few months ago, and it's one of the two reasons I no longer use Gaim.
The other reason I've switched is that, as of KDE 3.3, Kopete has become far more usable--it's not as mature as Gaim yet, but it's certainly better than it was, and it's sufficient for what I use it for.
I support the Center for Consumer Freedom
410 HP is definitely not enough for a 4-second 3000 GT.
It's a perfect time for being wasted.
A perfect time to watch the stars.
