> You could tell from the beginning that they cared a ton about usability and had their minds wrapped around how people use CAD. Well, what else can you expect from the very same guy who came up with SolidWorks in the 1990s? :)

I mean, anyone can report anyone for whatever and you will never reach tech support, because tech support at big social platforms never ever responds. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are all the same. You have to have some serious connections to

If you want an open-source kernel, you don't have much choice. Truck and Fornjot are incomplete and not quite ready for prime-time. libfive is FREP, not BREP. OCCT is the useable of all. But it also has old architecture, all sorts of i

Other CAD programs haven't solved toponaming issues, they mitigated them. You can still break a model in SW and other commonly used 3D CAD programs, it's just more difficult to do.

> GIMP is critically underfunded. Not really, no. They have sufficient funds to hire several developers for several years full-time. They are just dragging their feet to organize themselves into a non-profit and start using those funds.

Development is a continuous process, so you can think of Ondsel ES as 3D CAD software that is always one step ahead of the upstream project. There will likely always be things that are not part of FreeCAD yet. There could be other things th

Between 2007 and 2021, I did a lot of technical support for GIMP users. So when I say that I know what people mean when they say things like "Stop inventing stuff and just copy Photoshop" or "Make the same menu items" or

The Paint Select tool in 2.99 was one of the attempts to make selecting objects simple. Unfortunately, it's unfinished and the original developer is no longer active.

The separate+ plugin isn't maintained, but GIMP 2.99/3.0 has late binding for CMYK (basically, work in RGB, export in CMYK).

> Krita was launched 18 years ago. The project started under a different name and team in 1998. But it wasn't as active as GIMP until the current project lead discovered and pretty much saved it from slow death around 2002.

Both Patreon (original announcement by lead dev), GNOME's gitlab instance (where the roadmap is) and Libre Arts (linked post) are hosted in the US. What's causing your suspicion?

Oh, I'm probably bad, but definitely not a robot :) Bleep. I think there's some distortion added by the Noise Repellent plugin, will look into tweaking settings.

Are we still talking about Photoshop where the combined transformation tool is absent from the toolbox and needs to be called from the main menu instead?
