Its an open source project if the so called community actually wanted to do something we already would have different gui port.

It doesn't do all that calibre does obviously but it does most of what I need. It's not per see a fork as it only uses the same database formats and directly call calibre for conversion but it's as close as you get to a "modern" gui on top of calibre.
As usual, the people actually doing the work and the people complaining are strictly different subsets.

People have been reluctant to do that because Goyal has shown that he would be hostile to any fork and would seek to frustrate any such attempt.

Based on what else I've seen about him -- admittedly only this thread -- I would guess that while he would not assist or change his behaviours, he would not actively try to frustrate it.
