It seems for years in every thread about Gimp I've seen, people are shitting on it. I don't get it. I suppose that it's from people comparing it to Photoshop?

It seems for years in every thread about Gimp I've seen, people are shitting on it. I don't get it. I suppose that it's from people comparing it to Photoshop? I've never been a heavy Photoshop user though, and Gimp has been perfect for all my basic non-pro-level needs over the years. I'm sure this is true for many others as well.
Just wanted to say thank you to the devs in case you are here.

- colordrops 4y agoIt's FREE.
- pwinnski 4y agoIf no criticism of the product is allowed because "It's FREE," then why post anything about it? Why be proud of existing for 27 years if its best or only feature is "It's FREE?" "I don't understand why people don't like it." "It sucks in these specific ways." "It's FREE." Literal feces is free also, but most people aren't excited to receive it as a gift. GIMP is considerably better than literal feces, but there are alternatives to GIMP in both FOSS and no-cost web-based form that are objectively better and also free, and have taken less than 27 years to get where they are.
- piyush_soni 4y agoI having a masters in Computer Science could never make my way through GIMP, tried quite a few times. I have never seen a more complicated UI (while I was at least functional in Photoshop). Thankfully hundreds of online image editors arrived in last few years that did precisely what I wanted in a much easier way.
