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
if you've *only* ever used GIMP it's a fish not knowing it's wet sort of situation, but for anyone coming in from PS it's more akin to hitting the water at terminal velocity
because I haven't used PS, but am curious, how close does the PhotoGIMP project bring it in real-life usage?
(granted, if you've ever tried it yourself, which I don't know)

i haven't tried it personally, but just at a glance, that UI is a big improvement. i can see this improving usability, but core issues (like the poor support for text/laborious processes for things that are simpler in other software) are still going to be problems if it's just a reskin
biggest W here is taking all tool the icons that were in indecipherable squares and aligning them vertically down the side which GIMP itself should have had the good sense to do like 20 years ago
