The “GTK is difficult” guy here. Thanks for the kind words. (I really wasn’t being modest BTW. For me a “developer” can write a bubblesort without using Google and his brain shouldn’t explode when reading the wikipedia page on B-trees. ๐ )
You might be interested that we have actually made a release, although there might be a problem with the tarball right now. Details at Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/terminator/+announcement/13634) and my blog (http://gnometerminator.blogspot.com/2015/09/its-been-long-road-getting-from-there.html)
Tarball in Launchpad is now fixed.
