That's too simplistic of a view, there are way too many gatekeepers with poor UI design sensibilities which won't just merge your "just done the work to improve UI" contribution, which in turn leads to lower chances getting people to contribute such improvements
- alpaca128 3y agoThe linked article talks about a fork created to redesign Gimp's UI, so there were no gatekeepers.
- eviks 3y agoMy point was about merging a fork, not creating it.
- phendrenad2 3y agoI didn't see the GIMP project speaking up when Glimpse was accused of being "woke". And also, there's zero chance that the GIMP project would ever switch to the Glimpse codebase. Forking things usually results in the original thing persisting forever out of spite for those who dared to fork it.
- prokoudine 3y ago> I didn't see the GIMP project speaking up when Glimpse was accused of being "woke". Oh I dunno. Personally, I was vocally against the bullying of the Glimpse team.
- michaelmrose 3y agoWouldn't it be accurate to say that as far as GUI toolkits the gate keeping is really just GTK? Few seem to complain about QT being to minimalist.
