since it relies on leeching open source code via so called "AI". Consider that if all coding was done this way, the state of software would never advance, since there would be no new original (human written) code to leech from. It would just be re-cycling the same code over and over, mashing it together in the hope of something "working".

Yes, it seems you _will_ be penalized for creating a website that is Mobile Friendly :- use plain HTML where the presentation is strictly up to the browser, and the Google check tool uses a default tiny, tiny font and then complains that your website has fonts that are too small !

Ironically, Chrome (on Android at least) doesn't have this problem - plain HTML websites are perfectly readable, making a mockery of Googles check tool.

You're not far wrong in your estimate of the amount of effort needed (Argyll has taken about 7 years effort so far), but you're wrong in assuming that nothing is happening in the open source area. A couple of us seem to be making fair color scientists out of ourselves by writing color management systems from scratch. One of the reasons Argyll is open source is that I figured, yes I can write another proprietary color management package, and be like the other dozen companies scratching for a living in this area, or I can do something new, and write the first open source CMS. As someone working for a competitor to EFI, you'll have to forgive me for thinking that working for EFI is not much of a credential when it comes to talking about color :-)
