I feel like I ought to respond to this.
I agree that Thomas does sometimes react to criticisms of Hugin as
personal attacks, and responds overly defensively in a way that
isn't required, sometimes no response is required - the particular
wiki page in discussion is something I created in a burst of
enthusiasm and then failed to keep up-to-date - I'm very conscious
that this page wastes people's time by listing all the tools without
recommending which tools to use.
Some history needs correcting: Hugin was pretty much moribund
before Thomas joined. Pablo had stepped back, in part because being
a sole maintainer wasn't much fun for him, we had a few successful
Summer of Code projects, but these ran out of steam because there
was nobody to manage them - do you see a pattern here? Though we
would all love for free software to be a self-organising
collaborative sharing experience, the reality of most free software
projects is that one person is overburdened and does most of the
work.
Having said that, we would love to see more contributors, there is
lots to do (I'm embarassed that there is a libpano13 release ready
to go that should have been out years ago, maybe today).

This is mainly addressed to Thomas Modes, but since it's not the first
time I've seen him behave like this, I think it's time to come out in
the open.

There is one at

horribly out of date. I've been meaning to update it, but I've always
found something more rewarding to do. In particular, it makes
reference to obsolete programs.
Sorry, but is wrong. The main part with the description is up to
date. The only one obsolete program in the main part is
autopano-sift-c - but this is only shown as alternative; the
mentioned main program cpfind is still part of Hugin.
Sorry, but is wrong. I spent quite a bit of time going through this
page a while back, and it contains numerous issues. Apart from
autopano-sift-c, in the main text there are also references to
autopano-sift, match-n-shift, ptoinfo, ptscluster, ptoclean,
ptovariable and panostart, as well as to the pano.mk file that no
longer exists.
