I found Gimp to be to be less than intuitive, but don't tell others that. The first reply is usually “it's a different, but not harder workflow, than Photoshop, and you'll get used to it.” I had never used Photoshop until last year, so didn't have the bias. Still found Photoshop much easier to pick up.
Gimp is still great, but there are choices I just don't get.
- Normille 5y agoI was with you all the way, til you said: >Gimp is still great... It's not. It's fucking shite. Just because it's free people seem to have this 'Emperor's New Clothes' mentality about it, where they have to convince themselves it's a worthy piece of software. It's not. It's awful and perpetuates the stereotype that free / OSS / Linux apps have to be inferior, clunky and unintuitive. Applications like Krita, on the other hand, show that you can actually have free Linux software that can be as good [and as good looking] as the commercial 'pro' offerings. I still wish they'd lose the hideous cutesy Manga splash screen imagery though [Similar is also used by Ibis Paint on Android [0]] as, for me anyway, it really undermines the "professional design software" message.

- hallarempt 5y agoWell, that's not going to happen :-). As long as Tyson Tan is prepared to create Kiki splash screens, we'll keep using them! You can start Krita with --no-splash if it really bothers you, though.
