darktable also lacks a board of investors, a CTO, a head of UX, a
project management, a panel of test users, a famous photographer as a
brand ambassador, many tracking features to collect statistics on usage
"to improve the performance", an annual coding sprint in the Bahamas and
a couple of off-shore accounts to pay for the whores and whisky during
that sprint.

Until that, darktable is done be piling up code randomly produced by
random people, 90% of them being non-native English speakers, some
writing grey, some writing gray, and contrast still means "pushing
whites further away from blacks" with no implication on the actual
algorithm or colour space used to do so.

By the way, changing strings variables in C code does not actually
require coding knowledge (just how to use grep and git - /which might be
worse than actually coding/) and only needs a proper design backed with
some argumentation (same-named settings having the same effect is a very
good argument, now how do we actually fix the soft in a UI-consistent
yet technically-accurate way ?). I'm waiting for the pull requests…
