I think the VT100 terminal reference was probably intended for me (I was
the one who didn't like opengl in PCB because it got unusably slow on
all my computers).
I have good news: you don't need to worry about me. As you suggested later
in your mail, I did realize life was short and did fork PCB long ago. So
whoever the project leader would be, he/she wouldn't need to worry about
support for "old hardware", or sw render in PCB.
(Btw, I fully agree that one of the things that could make the project
better would be a leader backed up by majority of the community, making
crucial decisions about directions.)
