...and it leaves people like me, who wanted to get involved, in a very 
'torn' state. Yes, I prefer the Inkscape UI, it's more like what I'm 
used to. But Sodipodi is the original, and to me, it represent 
stability. They just wanted an (irresponsibly?) faster release cycle and 
patch-submission guidelines. Understandable, but not forgivable, IMO.

I think the menubar would actually work better in sp than gimp, since 
the canvas size is bound to be bigger in many (or even most) projects. I 
gimp, I often work with images that are < 100 pixels wide, in which case 
the menubar wastes space. In sodipodi, never less than 500.
