I think they’re at least at Air Canada levels right now.

1-2 days is enough to learn the basics, but I doubt you’ll be as nearly as productive as with something you’ve been using for years. Keep in mind that new languages also mean new frameworks, etc, some which take years to actually master, but at least months to get a good handle on them.

The security record of most image libraries however is sufficiently depressing that it is not worth the cost to do any kind of conversion.

Apparently leaking EXIF data to the internet is not a concern of his.
