Obviously Fractint/Winfract would benefit by being ported to a more modern environment, but this is an abstract discussion unless one has both lots of skill and lots of time not to mention lots of commitment. Worthy starts have been made over the years by a number of people, some of whom frequent this forum. All of them give up some fraction of Fractint's features in order to move to the new environment.
The attempt I made gave up no features, but didn't ever get merged into any of the existing CVS code branches. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html>
