Phew! Someone agrees with me - I won't have to go through that 12-Step after
all. ;)
At some stage, hopefully as GIMP 2 gears up, I'd like to get a bunch of
people together - users, deisgners and coders - to work on improving the
interface. Proper UI testing and the like, with video cameras.
Pie in the sky now, but give it a few months and I think it'll be time to
start this one up.
I *want* to use GIMP, and I *want* to be able to recommend it to everyone
else, but as it stands, it has a hacker's interface.
