Then maybe we shouldn’t be complaining about GIMP’s UI and instead be giving them money :D It seems like that’s how you fix Linux, not posting “can’t make circle tho” or “it isn’t like Photoshop and I refuse to use Krita tho”
I’m just bringing it to the main thread topic: GIMP often has complaints that it isn’t like Photoshop. Well, Krita is. So what’s the point of complaining about GIMP anymore? Just complain about Krita please. Let GIMP do its own thing with the people that care about it and let Krita be the Photoshop replacement that everyone desires. I use Krita instead of GIMP because I am very used to Photoshop—I don’t complain about GIMP because it’s literally pointless when I have a tool I enjoy.
That’s fair, but those users seem to not know what they want: they think posting it will fix the problem. It won’t, we have discovered with valve that money is the problem in FOSS. Turns out if you just pay people shit gets done in Linux. We should focus efforts to get money flowing to GIMP, not laying blame on the existing users who don’t care. It’s literally not their fault, it’s the lack of funding which is why Linux isn’t more popular.

I’m not complaining about GIMP, I’m complaining about the attitudes people have towards potential users of free software.
