How the hell did this headline get past the editor??
This sounds like the FBI shot the man's family after he threatened Biden, saying he's frustrated.
It's hard to put much stock in their interpretation of the facts when their attention to detail never graced the headline even for a minute...

You say "occasional use", I read "given time for dust to collect".

Pretty sure this has been studied and known for a LONG time now. I remember hearing about it sometime not long after the initial HIV scare.

LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.

Alright we're done here. Go annoy someone else with your ranting.

You're not interested in debate or discussion. You're a dedicated white knight for gimp and all it's jank, and you've no interest in engaging with the points made by others. Your best counterarguments are to either attack the person you disagree with directly, or what boils down to a "nuh uh because it works for me!".

If you want to actually discuss this do it in good faith or stop wasting our time.

You're a one man logical fallacy machine just reusing the same lines over and over. Just go away.

Krita gets ~4000 euros a month and their ui is beautiful, functional, streamlined, and dare I say on par with much, much larger offerings. Until recently Zbrush was a 1-time license purchase for years and years. Their software is incredibly powerful and their UI is well organized and feature rich, and their entire net worth is like $100k total...

I'm going to let you argue with the wall, because you'd rather talk feelings than make a coherent argument.

Finally a voice of reason. I'm in the same boat. Linux everything, including any standalone products I can load it onto. I can count on one hand the number of non-linux programs I use. GIMP's interface simply sucks. They know that, they've been given feedback since 1995, they just don't care. @CrypticCoffee is in here acting like GIMP just needs some support from the community but the reality is that they've neglected decades of feedback and so they deserve what they get. If that's negative feedback, then so be it!

Blender's UI used to be a dumpsterfire too, right on part with GIMP in my opinion. They straight up redesigned that shit from the ground up and now it's an amazing and intuitive powerhouse program, and they're 7 years younger!

The fact that GIMP is 2d and blender is 3d works in gimp's favor if anything. 2D is a whole lot simpler, and blender goes into animation, mixing, audio, dozens of specialities.

TL;DR, GIMP has had decades to improve, they don't, and they deserve to reap what they sow, both positive and negative.

You can die on this hill if you want to. Gimp has its reputation amongst the public, and it's not for it's user friendly UI. Maybe you like the jank, but that doesn't mean it's optimal.

Also, another thing open source projects need is feedback from the public. The UI being horrid is feedback, and just because you feel the need to white knight and feel personally offended by this feedback doesnt make the feedback invalid. You can complain about the phrasing used, but if you use that as reason to disregard the feedback or get defensive and accusatory towards the person (the "what have YOU done" bit was particularly irrelevant) then you're part of the problem regardless how much you feel you're the solution.

One doesn't need to be a dev to have opinions about ease of use of a piece of software, don't be dense.
