that's probably true. I asked that question to rhino's team and they told me about 15 people. I was surprised. but they explained in same words as you did. Beyond that # of people, the increase in development speed is not linear. I think small teams stay under more pressure to excel at their jobs. Nevercenter must be the other end of the example. They've done an amazing job with Silo, and their ideas are brilliant. But their proposed release date is long in the past now. they could use some more programming hands i think...
