It crashes a lot on me on both the latest macOS and on Ubuntu 18.04. That said, I'm not one to lose patience on FOSS and know it can and will improve.

Don't really know about macOS, but Ubuntu 18.04 is a distro with, what, 6 years old packages ? There have been a lot of bugfixes to the whole stack since then which will never make it to older Ubuntus - remember than the "stable" in linux distros means "does not change", not "does not crash".

That's poor reasoning for multiple reasons:

- Krita also crashed on me when Ubuntu 18.04 was recent.

- Most Krita crashes are on startup, before I do anything.

- GIMP never crashes on me with heavy usage. In fact, few graphics manipulation apps crash on me.

- Finally, like I said, Krita crashes often on the latest macOS.

I think the "blame" is entirely on Krita. That said, I'm patient and understand software has bugs; Krita will be stabilized eventually.

You don't see the issue with a Github monopoly? And reporting an issue really isn't any different on Gitlab than on Github, you can even login with your Github account.

Honestly, first time I am hearing this concern that a source control system can be a monopoly. This doesn't seem to be a concern for most of the open source projects that I use every day, they are all hosted on github.

Inkscape is one of those programs that I have a love/hate relationship with. I’m not a heavy user; when I use it, I’m coming at as a novice, usually with a specific task in mind and I find that I might as well have Inkscape open on half the screen and Google open on the other half as I have to search for how to do anything. Once I find it, it works fine, but the UI seems the exact opposite of approachable for me. (It…

I have the same feeling. Using a SVG editor shouldn't be that hard (drawling lines, filling shapes etc.) but somehow doing anything in Inkscape is so confusing I was never able to do even the simplest task with it.

Honestly that make you look like an ass.

You can "login with GitHub" on GitLab, and the minimum you can do for an open source project that is given to you for free is to make a tiny bit of effort to respect the maintainer choice. Really I assure it's _that_ easy, even I did it a few days ago.

If you are not capable of clicking on three button to login on a platform and say "thanks" to a maintainer on an issue that is already there, but have the time and energy to complain on HN, I'm not sure I would want you as a user.

> I have no idea if Gimp got better because I gave up on it with enough good alternatives.

It didn't. I upgraded back to 2.6 and stopped updating when 2.8 broke saving files, and going by hearsay, it's continued to get worse since.

Does it fully support HiDPI on Windows? In older versions I either got minuscule icons or huge ones, but nothing in between.

Try to back away from the situation and see how you're coming across here. It's a free product, and you're behaving in a really entitled way.
