listen i'm not saying GIMP is useless but i am saying it's a misrepresentation to act like it's a perfectly acceptable 100% replacement for Photoshop and that its interface isn't totally fuckin busted. like sorry but i have been on Computer since 1994 and it is among the worst UIs i have ever seen
people are so smug about “just drop adobe” and that’s how you know they’re not doing real work with it, adobe is able to be so miserable to people because so much adobe software is literally irreplaceable right now
yeahhhh it's the same with the "just get linux" people 🫠 like okay i'm glad it works for you but it won't for me! what if we all fought for better standards/consumer rights!!!
To be fair, I *did* switch to Linux and I do an awful lot of stuff with it (music stuff via FL Studio, video editing via Davinci Resolve, Steam library pretty much just works, and I familiarized myself with Krita for my art as I would not touch GIMP with a ten foot pole)
But honestly stuff like substance painter, or Lightroom, or photoshop are so far ahead of other tools in my experience that it’s very hard to move off them.
