Thanks for release!
- nkkollaw 9y agoI don't know, I must be slow but many, many times I _forced_ myself to learn it, and there's just no way. I've finally come to the conclusion that it isn't me, but it's the usability that is completely flawed. Unfortunately, when one tries to say anything the response is "you go fix it then, asshole!" but I don't know how to develop desktop apps, so...

As someone with experience using graphics applications, you could look into making UI mockups of the changes / improvements you have in mind. Seeing the mockups might get someone interested enough to start work on user-testing, prototyping, implementing, ..., them.
- fvdessen 9y agoPeople already did that for years only to be completely ignored (or worse) by the GIMP developers.
- Joeboy 9y agoI think this reputation for intransigence was probably merited by ~noughties GIMP team, but it doesn't seem to me to be deserved at present. I think the UX issues that remain are more due to lack of development resources than intransigence. Edit: Despite my defence of the current devs, I continue to be annoyed by the GIMP cheerleaders who continue to unhelpfully blame the program's shortcomings on its users.
- nkkollaw 9y agoTried, and failed miserably. They don't care.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoThe thing is Adobe users will tend to want to copy that UI, which is easier because they're familiar with it. But if you're familiar with nothing, or familiar with The GIMP then that's likely to be an impediment. Squaring that particular circle isn't easy IMO. There are people who still prefer the separate window system, I've always liked the unified one. Simple differences like this can become divisive and split your developer and user groups. You should try Blender! Some applications are just complicated and need time to learn.
