Gimp sucks. That's why people on Linux rather use krita to edit photos and it wasn't even built to do that.
Gimp is a horrible mistake that should literally be killed off and it should be put into a failure museum to serve as a warning and a reminder how Foss can take a wrong turn and many free development hours are spent towards building the wrong things and continue to disappoint any user that tries it.
I'm so sorry that you feel the $0.00 you've spent on GIMP's development were not well spent
Just because something’s free doesn’t make it immune to criticism.
Is it really criticism if you just say "is bad I hate it"
The UI is atrocious, the shortcuts are mind blowingly shite and every fucking tutorial on it assumes knowledge.
There’s a reason Gimp has near zero market share. Pirated Photoshop versions have a higher market share and for good reason.
Oh and where the fuck is the draw circle tool? OH no you just use an ellipse and STFU and make a circle tool on a button you nerds.
And yet thousands of people have used it constructively for years. They must ask be, like, super humans I guess
And if it was a better product millions would be using it.
And if it was an even better product, billions would be using it. Mathematical!
That wasn't criticism, that was a rant
I have the best wishes for all the developers and what they make after gimp experiment ends.
