GIMP is better than Photoshop for my purposes. No, it's not trying to copy
(which I think is the actual problem most people have with GIMP), and
therefore does some things differently as a result, and the tools are not a
one-to-one match (thankfully).
It's also free, completely cross-platform, and

One question to ask is why are Procreate and Photoshop so popular with
digital painters and Photoshop wasn't even originally designed for this?
One major reason for this is the way the internal textures to the brushes
are handled. Photoshop isn't even super fast for painting but this feature
gives
Lets look at this simple constrain to straight line method. I don't know of
other programs which allow pressure sensitivity to work with that although
maybe some do. That might make the tool unique.

Ardour is poor and there were lots of DAWs being developed on Linux

arrogant. It doesn't matter if he is funded. That doesn't make Ardour a
success in terms of how it works. If you install Reaper on Linux there is

As for the value sliders in Gimp. There was no need to have that dual
slider or that awkward way of having the numerical input above those dual
sliders making selecting these things fiddly. One slider would have
sufficed with key commands to shift it in various increments.

Ofnuts. Some of the choices on Linux are fine like desktop environments but
when it comes to the actual programs, having competing programs is damaging
because there aren't enough developers as it is. If another open source 3D
app competed with Blender that would draw coders away. Competing for

My GIMP pet peeves list is much longer than this, but I also see the

Hi Ryan.
Your collection of pet peeves is impressive. Yet I believe that your
generalization that they must affect everybody is blown way out of
proportion.

We can have a nice long argument about that, because I can show you

Alexandre, Mypaint has some new features in the development version which
takes the brush engine onto a much better level. Also, Mypaint has been
carefully designed for minimum hassle with workflow and UI. It is a very

If you aren't a heavy critic of Gimp there is something wrong with you. I
appreciate that the app is free open source and developers are working for
free but it seems they are cut off from most users. This is apparent by
simply using the app. Virtually every feature has some kind of usability

Now when reading you people, I can understand why
is it that Guido stepped down from being the Python head.
And why the GIMP dev team really have an option of being more recluse -
I should tell you that I'd be in the same category of Prokoudine -

It is very sad that this exchange of opinions ended up this way. GIMP is an
open source software and is developed by volunteers, so time is better
spent in developing than fighting. I like timebox releases as Ubuntu, but
as said by Alexander after 2.10 release they found a new development model
I think this sums up my (and many other people's) sentiment perfectly:

hhmm, well, just reading this whole thread here on the gimp-devel mailing list
and on reddit, I really have to admit that Niccolo is right.
The very first posting of Niccolo on reddit, that I can find is an answer to
another user about a new version for Arch Linux, in which he simply says

As someone who has worked many years alongside (at the desk next to)
