I was a heavy GIMP user back in the day. Just last week i downloaded again. I didn‘t understand anything. Maybe i just forgot it all, but it felt unusable to me.
The UI seemed so cluttered and unnecessarily complex. Almost like they want to prove how powerful the tool is, by shoving it all in your face. I didn‘t like it.
I think it might be time to reinvent. It would be a shame if GIMP joined the club of 27…
- intrepidhero 4y agoHas the UI even changed in 27 years? The fact that the I don't have to relearn it every time I update it has been my favorite feature.
- endofreach 4y agoThen i might just have forgotten it (which i stated as a possibility). I haven‘t used it in at least 10-14 years (wow, i‘m still a noob in so many things after all this time in the matrix). Back then i might have been more fascinated with the „FOSS alternative“ and more eager to learn… but even back then it has never felt intuitive. Glad to hear people still enjoy & use GIMP.

- rnd0 4y agoBy default, everything is all in one window instead of floating bars for the tools and images.
- npteljes 4y agoThe one window thing was a lifesaver change as far as I'm concerned, otherwise I don't think it changed much.
