comments? maybe GIBid is ok. I have club shortness, max 4d, 5+ hearts etc. thus marked with spade support. Not sure what a double of 3D by me would be.

N double - I can penalize 1 or more minors
S double - I have this minor
EW are rightfully toast on this hand.
Why doesn't Gib double 2N? How does it think 3♣X and vul will fare?
If it can't double 2N should still pass and defend 3♦. It still has good defense for clubs so unlikely making unless E has really good hand for ♦. 3♠ has no play without N having 4♠ even then E likely too to have 4♠ and N has very few tricks unless somehow the clubs setup, so 3♠ really unlikely to make. Any simulation will show 3♠ a very bad bet even giving south a better hand with 4♠.
