How does GEM compare to Jitter?
I can't really comment on that since i don't know GEM very well.
From what i see is that Jitter is much more general and is extremely
well-designed. It seems to be a sum of GEM and PDP at least.
GEM and GridFlow to be more precise. Jitter follows the multidimensional data model formerly introduced by GridFlow, except it introduces a separate concept of channels ("planes"): in GridFlow, an image may be a 240*320*3 "grid", but in Jitter, it's a 240*320 "matrix" with 3 "planes". I'm not too sure what this additional concept is useful for, and it looks more like a hindrance to the generality of objects.
