First - So "no horizontal lines" is now a complaint?
Second - This is a limitation of the Operating System, where closing the root window closes the application.
Third - No, it just gives you shortcuts to the most important menu. What else would you want there?
Fourth - So have it on the side! It's not like horizontal screen real estate is the rare commodity these days. Also - really? Saying "this horizontal menu is not vertical" is criticism now?
Fifth - I guess you also complained about the "eye" in Photoshop before they replaced it with the "Ps" sign?
Sixth - Scrolling scrolls. It just... scrolls. Not sure what else to say here. Also, Ctrl+Scrolling Zooms, Shift+Scrolling scrolls horizontally. Seems pretty frigging straight-forward to me.
Seventh - Oh boo-frigging-hoo, there is two ways to the same end. There are also keyboard shortcuts, you know? Three ways!
Eigth - Are you trying to be adversary here? Transforming the entire image or just the layer are obviously separate, justified entities. And again - offering them somewhere else doesn't make them less useful, just easier to access. Not sure where else than in the menu (or the right-click copy of the menu) you've found them, though.
Ninth - I'm starting to be lost for words here... How about: Because they are two separate things? Are you even aware of their functionality?
Tenth - These are unfortunately named the same, but I would say this is in the nature of the beast - A color map is a justified concept and a filter that has 'mapping' behavior is a justified concept. So your criticism is more one of the English language.
I was really prepared to debate some of the more reasonable complaints (like color management, somewhat clunky plugins etc.) you could have with GIMP, but sorry - this is just noise.
- angersock 15y ago"Horizontal lines"...? What? No, I'm saying that the toolbox palette is cluttered and takes up more space and is less usable than the PS equivalent. "This is a limitation of the Operating System," is not actually a limitation of the operating system. All you do is create an invisible root window that handles events for your application, and then all your visible windows are children of it. Or any of several other solutions. Most of the rest of your points go back to defending duplicated functionality. This is bad design. There is no reason to apologize for that--it's just a failure. It should be redone. As for the mapping--at least for "alien map", those used to be in the same plugins menu. This is a regression.
- skore 15y agoNot really sure we would both enjoy further nitpicking on this. I guess the only thing I can conclude here is that even based on your claims, I would not arrive at the same conclusion that you arrived at. I could probably write or find a list of equal length and severity on the shortcomings in Photoshop. I simply fail to see even the sum of your claims support the strong statement that you made in your original post.
