Wow. Leave the thread overnight and all manner of stuff floats to the surface.
I’ll speak to the one thng I think is critical to Blender over the next ten years. Namely, open & honest communication between all users and the BF leader. Like it or not, great programmer or not, aligned interests or not - I don’t think we are getting that from the current leader of Blender. Campbell’s & Thomas’ presence is awesome and to be applauded. It would be great if others could follow their example.
