Wow! Easy to learn, easy to compile (I'm on MX Linux and Ubuntu-MATE), the doc is well written. But more than that, it is very user friendly, such a pleasure to learn it, and the outcome images are just incredible. Thank you so much developer!

Thanks for a great program under a free open source license!

Very impressive app. We all know about Mandelbrot fractals in 2D. But in 3D they are stunning! Note, the program is cross-platform (not Windows only).
