Still no adjustment layers, still no layer styles.

It’s so easy to just critique away…but really? Really? Those are just absolutely essential image editing software features. What have they been prioritizing ahead of that?

And no macOS native gui ;_;

It’s almost unusable in OSX because of that.

I congratulate them but after 27 years I'm still using and paying for Photoshop.

Its open source, so feel free to prioritise your own workload into making this feature.

The biggest stain on FOSS, with the worst apologists, 27 years strong! Try drawing a circle, in the year 2022.

It's wonderful to see a piece of OSS add yet another year onto its life! More people should be aware of open source alternatives to mainstream/first-party software like Photoshop!

I'd sure like more features and a UI that looks like it wasn't made 27 years ago though. Keeps me from using it for day to day image editing or really anything advanced.

Pretty sure that program that is useful and usable, but not as much as you want, does not qualify for this description.

There are very few active maintainers, what few there are have been scratching their own itches.
