GIMP ui is hard for new users and because of the extremely hard learning curve most people give up on it. People overreact about the gui complains but people that have been using it for years have blinders same is the case for most of its developers. Similar is the case for calibre another popular open source project I have been using it from almost its inception so I don't see the problems that new users face that have grown up with a new gui rules and interfaces. Both of these have pain points for new users but the legacy behind the code makes it impossible for the current devs to change it. So when people say don't like it then you should fork it is actually the only real way that it can move forward. And then if it is good enough change it might get back into the main fork otherwise it won't.
