> Gimp’s development is also closely tied to both Richard Stallman’s GNU values and the GTK+ widget toolkit Gimp is indeed tied to the Gimp Toolkit+, but it has almost nothing to do with GNU anymore (and it never had much of anything to do with rms, so trying to smear Gimp by association is kind of mean). In fact, the Gimp developers themselves are quite hostile to the idea of doing things like changing the language to fit GNU recommendations. When I suggested that they shouldn't refer to it as "open source", they were the ones who shouted "POLITICS", refused, and ran away. So, if you dislike its UI, don't blame GNU or rms. Probably shouldn't even blame GTK+. Just blame Gimp.
