I'm finding myself preferring Haiku-native apps, (often ports of older BeOS applications), because they launch and respond the fastest on the system, and the speed of this OS is addictive. I forget that I'm running it on 12-year-old hardware until I try rendering a modern webpage in Falkon 😆

Some interesting omissions: neither Basilisk II nor the infamous SheepShaver are available in the Haiku Depot, which seem like strange omissions for this OS, given its heritage...

Also Aseprite and a graphical STL slicer would allow me to do gamedev and 3D printing on this OS.

There appear to be a number of competent image editors in the repositories, but I have a large backlog of aseprite saved files that are as-yet unreadable.

Curaengine exists in the depot, but as far as I can tell, it's just the commandline slicer backend rather than the GUI. I imagine porting it would be a bit of a pain.

@shyra well it's Python + Qt so maybe not as hard as you'd think.

I wonder if @pulkomandy tried.

@mmu_man @shyra I don't do a lot of 3D printing, so, no.

Is asesprite fileformat documented somewhere? I may be able to add that to GrafX2. And muybe Asesprite can be ported too, there's no reason it wouldn't work.

I think I had Basilisk II running a few years ago but could not figure out SheepShaver's buildsystem, maybe it's time I give it another try
