- michaelmrose 3y agoThis isn't a good indication that gimp can do as well
- Almondsetat 3y agoIt actually is. In fact it mighty be the proof that throwing everything away and writing a new version from scratch might even be preferable
- michaelmrose 3y agoAn analysis of a particular project includes its scope, existing code, existing developer resources, the time they have available, the things they themselves are familiar with/good at. Any analysis that involves purely looking at a competing project is probably not even wrong. The gimp project has provided a decent and useful tool for about 28 years whereas most new projects started from scratch die shortly. A from scratch rewrite would be a massive undertaking which might exceed the available resources/skills and might simply kill a useful project rather than producing a better one. A glib well this guy did it is not an analysis.
- prmoustache 3y agoI have used both and don't find the difference so huge. Besides photopea doesn't have a quarter of the functionaliti as Gimp, is afaik not controlable from the cli in batch mode. The scope is completely different.
