It's better than what currently there is but why does open source software have to have such bad UI? what are those lock and checkboxes? a 5 year old could come up with better icons... What's up with the thick lines around UI elements? it all looks so 2008. It sometimes looks to me like absolutely 0 designers are actually involved in open source, at all

GIMP is a power user tool, like Photoshop, or Excel, or a Bloomberg terminal. If you don't need all that, Canva or the photo editor on your phone will offer a simpler UI.

  No "power user" is touching GIMP with a ten foot pole.

    I use GIMP features that the basic apps don't have, therefore I'm a GIMP power user.

> a 5 year old could come up with better icons... Apparently none did.

  I think that just shows how terribly non programmer friendly open source development is, designers and the like do not touch places like github, the whole model needs a redo to make it easier for non programmers to participate in open source development

    That just show how people much prefer yelling at clouds than doing stuff.
