Professionalism. The blog lacks all pretense of any.

- The blog's tagline talks about "bullshit and ... how much I suck".

- It leads off with a close crop of cleavage. This negatively attracts males' attention while being untactful to others.

- He then demonstrates Gimp's new features by making people uglier. Have you watched any of Adobe's demo videos for comparison?

I don't know who this Nicu guy is and what his relationship with the Gimp project, but a look at his LinkedIn profile reveals that he was a developer 8 years before changing careers to photography for the last 3.

However his blog post is #11 under the Google search for "gimp 2.8", so the level of professionalism can leave a bad impression for new users.



Speaking of professionalism, I'll quote from the history of the agile manifesto:

In order to succeed in the new economy, to move aggressively into the era of e-business, e-commerce, and the web, companies have to rid themselves of their Dilbert manifestations of make-work and arcane policies. This freedom from the inanities of corporate life attracts proponents of Agile Methodologies, and scares the begeebers (you can’t use the word ‘shit’ in a professional paper) out of traditionalists.
