Yes, I always ask, because more often than not, it's just something small
that's got them stuck. This particular user had tried GIMP, and "found it
hard to use". I couldn't get any more clarification, as it was apparently
"several years ago" that they had tried to use GIMP and had "forgotten the

Sorry if you don't get the issue. It's not about simply zooming out.
Also, my apologies about hijacking. I thought you wanted to know why most
people don't care about Gimp. Many people who try do not realize why things
look bad in Gimp when they try it (compared to every other editor on Macs),

So... zooming OUT is out of the question for some strange reason? :P

AFAIK, on Inkscape things just looks a bit uglier. On Gimp, it's either
lose half the pixels, OR view everything at 2x zoomed. No way to grab parts
of a screen and view it next to the original on the same screen without
losing half the pixels. That'a a pretty major issue IMHO. And to be honest,

So the tl;dr is: there is no support for retina display (or other high dpi
displays).
Or did I miss any other kissues in the post?

The same claim is made on gimp.org: "Gimp ... sophisticated tools to get
the your job done."
So if you want to be pedantic, sure, no claim is made about HIDPI support.
So I guess you are
Not to mention that GNU/Linux is NOT a Unix. ;P
At any rate, still curious to hear from real developers in the GIMP
project, and motivation for working on the project.
If I want to hear about why Mac enthusiasts don't like GIMP (or Inkscape),
I'll defo post the question to the GIMP user mailing li

The blog post, among other things, states this:

I dare you link to pages on gimp.org and inkscape.org that support this c

While I am not a Gimp developer, I've been a keen user for many years. Same
goes for Inkscape. After having to do some native work on iOS, I started
working on Macs. In addition new laptop offerings kept making life as a
