It's probably better to read an email/post carefully before responding. That was not at all the question. :P You could easily start a complaint email thread or a bug report for that issue. It's not that I don't care about problems which (some) Mac users have, it's that in this email thread, I care more about thanking developers for their hard work, and getting to know about what motivates them. If you're a developer, you could easily get involved with troubleshooting and correcting any bugs you find. THEN you could possibly answer my question, as a GIMP developer. Just something to think about. :) I will continue to post my positive experiences and successes with GIMP, and hope in the future they will not be seen as an invitation/excuse for someone to complain. -C On Fri, 23 Sep 2016 at 15:57 C R <caj...@gmail.com> wrote: > AFAIK, on Inkscape things just looks a bit uglier.
