You can install Photoshop's keyboard shortcuts into Gimp, takes like five minutes. And Photoshop doesn't have an intuitive UI either, no way for a newcomer to start using it on the spot, takes time to learn it. So, no, UI is not the problem, Gimp is roughly on the same level as Photoshop when it comes to UI. And spreading this silly myth doesn't help anyone.
Gimp's biggest problem is performance. Then features.
- Joeboy 9y agoMy problem isn't that the UI isn't "intuitive", it's that it's bad - eg. the annoying "layer boundary" thing and the tendency for shortcuts to do different things depending on where you focused last. I don't know if UX people have a name for it, but I get particularly infuriated by the feeling that I'm being punished for learning shortcuts. Youtube is the other thing that continually annoys me like this. Edit: In the interest of balance, GIMP's UI has got much better in recent years (single window mode being a particularly massive improvement). Edit2: I note that fixing the layer boundary issue is on their roadmap so, although it continues to be annoying for now, they can't be reasonably be accused of being dogmatic or intransigent about it.
- prokoudine 9y ago> the tendency for shortcuts to do different things depending on where you focused last. I haven't heard this one before. Could you please provide examples? Thanks.
