MODERATORS
A person shows up in a room full of random people. Punches one in the face and starts swinging at everyone else. People instinctively start to defend themselves and, as they are more numerous, overwhelm and badly wound the instigator. OP walks into the room, "everyone in this room is so violent, look everyone, they are so violent". People outside the room hearing OP, "yeah, I bet anyone like them is just as violent".

Dinosaur here.
Windows Paint, as it was back in 9x? Totally my jam. Between that and Irfanview for access to resizing and filter features Paint didn't have, I could get a surprising amount done.
But then they updated Paint to have more advanced abilities and I had no idea how to do things any more.
I've tried Krita recently, but I felt lost. I think I need to attend a course or watch some videos on layers and the brushes and everything like that. It isn't intuitive at all. None of the advanced graphics programs are.
Old Paint? You didn't need a how-to or a course. It was one layer. No overwhelming number of tools and options. You wanted another layer? You opened another Paint window.
You wanted anti-aliasing? You drew things two or four times the size then used something like Irfanview to shrink it down when you were done.
Damn kids get off my etc.

Oh, vim community became gimp community.
I've been using gimp for as long as I can remember using Linux since 2000. The interface has changed so much lately that I can barely use it. I can't find half the controls anymore.
The biggest revelation for me when I switched to Photoshop for work about 4 years ago is that non-destructive editing is sooooo much nicer.
I always had dozens of "backup" layers in my years with Gimp just in case I messed something up. I was always cautious about the order in which you had to do things. I was amazed with photoshop at the fact that you could edit text after warping, gradient coloring and outlining it. Saved so much hassle.
I read non-destructive is in the pipelines for Gimp, and that would finally make it start become a viable alternative again.

honest, lads. imagine the forum culture would change to be friendly and welcoming. wouldn't you feel like you lost a little bit of home? π₯²
The issue here is if you are on a forum about a specific piece of software and are an active user, then anyone asking for alternatives seem like they are personally attacking you and your choices. At least to those people that replied above.
