Paint.NET的作者Rick Brewster在2026年9月2日的博客中谈到了Direct2D在WINE上运行的难题，并介绍了他们如何通过内部重写Direct2D来解决这个问题。他特别感谢了Claude的贡献，并描述了在开发过程中的挑战和成就。
要点：
1. Direct2D一直是Paint.NET在WINE上运行的难题，无法完全满足需求。
2. Paint.NET现在使用一个内部重写的Direct2D版本，由Claude编写。
3. 这个重写的Direct2D版本位于PaintDotNet.Windows.Direct2D1.Managed.dll中。
4. Claude在编写过程中展现了极高的编码能力，但同时也存在一些资源管理和设计上的问题。
5. Brewster对Claude的逆向工程工作印象深刻，特别是其在Direct2D内置效果库实现上的努力。

Direct2D has always been the biggest hurdle for Paint.NET on WINE, and it's clear that it will never be completed enough for Paint.NET's use. And I can't just "disable" the use of Direct2D. So, instead, Paint.NET now has an internal, from-scratch, clean-room reverse-engineered rewrite of Direct2D that it uses on WINE (triggered by using /wine). It lives in PaintDotNet.Windows.Direct2D1.Managed.dll. This was written by our good friend Claude, without whom this would NOT have been possible and would NEVER have happened. [...]
Most of this code is, as they say, "vibe coded." By that I mean that it has not been thoroughly reviewed, it's more "trust me bro" style. I cannot possibly review 180,000 lines of code, it's just way way way too much. For reference, the rest of Paint.NET is about 700,000 lines of code and I've been working on it for over 20 years. [...]
At times, Claude was working with the fury of 10 freshly unshackled Einstein genius-level 10x coders. And other times ... well, not so much. I had to babysit Claude quite a bit to make sure it did resource management correctly (for awhile it just wasn't doing the COM equivalent of AddRef() for reference counted objects, oops). I had to slap it a few times when I found some really bad design or architecture decisions. And I was also impressed at some rather clever and tireless reverse engineering work it did to figure out all the formulas needed for implementing Direct2D's built-in effects library.
