    I’m a huge fan of open source but saying the only people saying Gimps UI is bad are astroturfing is insane.

    It’s famously controversial and uses UI paradigms that don’t exist in any modern desktop environments.

      I’m not, but it’s not like it’s an occasional thing. Every time it’s brought up, it’s trashed. Free software that does a better job than anything else free, and folk bash it. Either they like and are motivated by Adobe dominance, or they’re useful idiots.

      It’s balanced to say “great program, but could do with a UI improvement”. It isn’t to say it’s unusable because of UI. I cannot imagine any free software advocate should be proud of taking that line.

          Tenacity, not audacity. Audacity got took over by a company with questionable record and tried to add telemetry into it. Tenacity was the OS fork which stayed true to principles.

          GIMP may not be your bag, but it’s highly used and many find it has much higher quality features than the alternatives. UI may not be popular, but it doesn’t prevent it being a solid bit of open source software.

          Btw, what steps have you taken to improve open source graphics software? It’s easy to bash, it’s harder to learn and contribute.

          Open source contributors > open source advocates > grateful open source users > almost everyone else > open source critics

            One doesn’t need to be a dev to have opinions about ease of use of a piece of software, don’t be dense.

              That is true, but to get free software made by people in their free time and say “this is rubbish” is a little ungrateful.

              “Here, have this free food…”. " ewww gross, that is so bad".
