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
I think maybe if it’s the only GUI you’ve ever used it might be that, but it’s alien in every possible way, often simply for the sake of being alien.
Like, they thought “artists are stupid, and this is what they like, and we’re engineers (smartest kind of person) so we should do the opposite”.
