For me it's a case of being the worst open source image editor, except for all the others.
The scripts always seem broken, the UI was a mess for a while on a Mac. The multi windowed system was great if the windowing manager expected that sort of thing and terrible otherwise.
Ufraw integration seems an awful way of getting to edit raw files and I go years at a time without being able to get it working on a Mac.
But it's still my first choice.
- wslack 6y agoYep. It's cantankerous but gosh darn it, the field lacks something better.
- bleepblorp 6y agoKrita.
- prokoudine 6y agoYour experience from 10-15 years ago is kinda irrelevant today :) No multiple windows, darktable or RawTherapee rather than UFRaw etc.
- wongarsu 6y agoSingle-Window Mode only became default in 2018 with Gimp 2.10. There are plenty of people around who haven't updated Gimp in that time and have yet to find out about this wonderful feature.
- prokoudine 6y agoIt always puts a smile on my face when people see a feature released in 2012 (as an option) and go, like, "wow, you finally did it!" :)
- IshKebab 6y agoIt's definitely worse than Krita.
- dvirsky 6y agoCreating an open source desktop app tends to require a different set of skills than what most open source developers have, and getting top notch UX designers and product managers to work on an open source project. When open source developers work on servers, networking, frameworks, etc - they can do top notch work and be their own PMs, it's much much harder for desktop software.
