I recently had an interesting discussion with a Therion user. He came up with a strong argument in favour of Therion: Therion has a group of developpers and therefore is more likely to stay around in the next decades than a software relying on one person. I have to admit I can't agree more with this argument. Fuel for thoughts?
I don’t like Therion. It’s so complicated and unintuitive. But anyway, you should use what you like best now and not what could be best in 20 years. It’s not like switching programs is an impossible task and you are forced to choose your fate right now.
Don't get me wrong, I like CRP and will continue to use it. Swapping software always come with some data loss and in the case of CPR, the raw drawings (that's a lots of works and times I'd rather spent surveying . I'd rather raise that point and hear what Jochen has planned (or not) to ensure CRP will remain a nice software with a dynamic development if he stops developing it himself for any reason. Having a group of developers involve in the project can also bring some new ideas, skills, etc... saying this I'm not a developer myself so this to offer my help on this matter but to open up a legitimate discussion.
CaveRenderPro is a private project. I could not spend the huge effort to mangage an open source project.
But, if I decide to terminate the support of CaveRenderPro in future (this is really not planned for now), all sources will be published here: https://github.com/CaveRenderPro
