    Gimp sucks. That’s why people on Linux rather use krita to edit photos and it wasn’t even built to do that.

    Gimp is a horrible mistake that should literally be killed off and it should be put into a failure museum to serve as a warning and a reminder how Foss can take a wrong turn and many free development hours are spent towards building the wrong things and continue to disappoint any user that tries it.

      You don’t get it.

      If you’re not spending hours trying to figure out how to do the most basic shit then it’s not for you, pal. Ever heard the expression pressure turns coal into diamonds?

      That’s right.

      That’s because we’re not bitch ass pussies. Last night I spent five hours trying to merge some layers, and you know what? Worth it! I read the docu, had a back and forth with the developers and after they threatened to kill my family I got it. I’m now a proud member of the Gimp Club Tm (choker and gag ball not included).

      Ya gotta give to get some, Shirley. Now move over, I need to block out the rest of the day so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

      I literally use GIMP every day at my job. It’s a very powerful application that makes my life easier.

      I’m so sorry that you feel the $0.00 you’ve spent on GIMP’s development were not well spent

      Absolute you problem. GIMP is some of the best and most powerful FOSS ever made, and better than most proprietary applications. But this is probably just bait anyway.

      I’ve used GIMP to create all of my memes. It’s just fine, even if the UI can be unintuitive.

      It lacks features compared to Photoshop, which is a reference to the fact that 2 developers maintain the core features of it.

      Gimp needs fixing. It’s definitely not beyond it. But sure go simp for Microsoft some more (yes I remember you from other threads)
