I have to point out that some good improvements have been done in synfig in last month. The current release version by svn is very stable and have a lot of new fuctionality. The spam in the wikii has been reduced a lot and some new users are making more and more tests posted in youtube. Compile from svn is not very difficult if you follow the steps they give at the wiki. I have installed the last svn version in an Ubuntu 6.10 machine so you don't need to wait to Gutsy to update. Maybe the program concept is a little strange but once you understand its working philosphy you love it. Once the basic tasks, layers and features were mature then they could go to improve shortcuts and userfriendly of the interface. I think they are in the good way. I bet the next version release (0.61.07 ) would be a good surprise. Best Hi there!

Safe to say, i more or less gave up. From what i have seen recently though, i think the development is slowly picking up pace so with any luck Synfig will improve significantly. Though then again, it could easily go the other way. Regards, James Hi there,
