Had a really interesting "conversation" with /u/prokoudine a while ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16686941 ). His favorite reply to my criticism to GIMP's usability was "get a grip on yourself". Love GIMP's devs entitlement to think GIMP's users are worthless pieces of crap.

Reading the exchange, I really don't think the GIMP dev was the one that came off as entitled.

Skimming through that link, it sounds like the GIMP developer ran out patience with you, and became more snarky than necessary. However, it's hard to blame him. You come across as ridiculous in that thread, and now even more so digging it back up a month later in a completely separate thread.

Wow, you really come across as an ass in that thread.

Hooray! GIMP is probably one of the top 5 pieces of software I think of when I'm in an evangelistic mood about open source. There's just something so beautiful about providing such easy access to creative tools.

I'm no power user, but I've found the GIMP to be satisfactory for 90% of my image editing requirements, and since I've spent most of my adult life as a rather destitute student, it's been an invaluable resource.

Congrats to the GIMP team!

I've said this before (kinda) and I'll say it again: if you're not happy with a feature in an open source piece of software then get involved with the development process: https://www.gimp.org/develop/ . If you don't know how and/or are not interested in learning then use another piece of software.
