> See, unlike many people I don’t regard FFmpeg as something unique (in the sense that it’s a project only Fabrice Bellard could create). It was nice to have around and it helped immeasurably but without it something else would fill the niche.<p>This comes off as highly insulting. "something else would fill the niche", do you really know that? and even if its true, you could probably say that same thing about any other landmark software, making the statement meaningless in addition to being rude.<p>I am inclined to give Konstantin leeway, as he was an FFmpeg developer, but even being in that position, I dont think he has any right to make a statement like this.
