GIMP is legendary. One of the first FOSS projects I ever used. I pirated Photoshop soon after trying it. Krita ( https://github.com/KDE/krita | https://krita.org/en/ ) is a more intuitive UX imo.
Krita is better in any conceivable way.
GIMP is the only image program I have seen on Linux that shows a preview when printing, and it lets the user freely scale the image to get the desired size on paper.
I get why people take issue with GIMP, but I'm glad that it exists and has existed. Back in the day I got a lot done with GIMP for both fun and school work, and it was great that it worked both on Windows and Linux. Better tools are around now, and GIMP has failed to live up to a lot of its promises, but I don't get why people need to shit all over it. No one is making you use GIMP. It's honestly amazing that people…

Lol this is an obvious lie. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9urjmg/i_made_a_free_... It was a serious Photoshop competitor before it made a single cent.
What the link you gave is supposed to show? >It was a serious Photoshop competitor before it made a single cent. Can you provide an actual reference of this? The AMA you gave explicitly says Photopea is making a revenue.
3rd paragraph.
You can see what it looked like at that time by looking at the blog posts.

Not if those features don't provide value. Just having a feature isn't necessarily a benefit if that feature doesn't work, or doesn't work well, or leaves the user frustrated.
A feature that doesn't work well can still provide value.
I congratulate them but after 27 years I'm still using and paying for Photoshop.
I recently made the move to Affinity Photo. The latest version gives me all I need. Muscle memory is still with Potatoshop, but I’m slowly transferring.

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?
At this point I don’t think it’s controversial to say that this project existing has harmed creative tools on Linux. If another project had become the de-facto we’d have all those basic features. Instead we’re stuck with something that almost provides the basics ok, because it exists people treat it like a solved problem, and it has such a history no one’s allowed to say it just frankly isn’t usable for it’s one job.

And no macOS native gui ;_; It’s almost unusable in OSX because of that.
To each their own, but if GIMP got a "Logic Pro"-style rewrite then I'd probably be looking for a new raster graphics editor.
