Don't know why people hating on GIMP.. maybe it's not exact replacement for photoshop.. but I've used it for product photo touch-up work and it gets the job don

  I agree. It's a good tool and gets the job done, and it's been a tool that I've reached for a long time. It's unfortunate that their funding situation is so dire. It's a project that could use a cash injection like Blender got. Blender went from having a terrible UI to winning awards.

    Blender already has a solid and enthousiastic user base before the 2.7 UI update. Blender was also the forerunner in having a kickstarter-like scheme to raise enough money to make it opensource. There's an interesting interview between Ton Roosendaal and Blender Guru about the history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEWOTZnFeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEWOTZnFeg The Blender guys were also a lot less hostile towards people trying to make improvements to stuff like UX. One of the things that GIMP also desperately needs is a name change, while Blender is an odd choice it at least doesn't conjur up sexual images.

  Tbh ever since the redid the UI, I don't really hate on it as much.
