I see people doing excellent work with GIMP all the time. How about you? > The gimp project needs to take a break and perhaps hand the reigns over to a new group with a different vision. There is no "new group". There's just us.

> There is no "new group". There's just us. Yes, and now would be a good time to admit that the reason why that is the case is because the Gimp project and development model are unproductive and failing when compared to other projects who do not have any problem attracting new people or resources. The Gimp project needs to dismantle itself and take some time to think about how it can build a more productive and sustainable model that attracts developers based on the successful examples that other projects have. Begging for coins into your Patreon is not part of building a large, productive and sustainable project. Its more of the same misguided and shortsighted mismanagement that has brought Gimp to its current sorry state.

  > The Gimp project needs to dismantle itself Yes, I expect you would want that. > the same misguided and shortsighted mismanagement It's amazing we managed so far at all without your expert input. There are many reasons things are the way they are. That you don't know much about those is a whole different story.
