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.

Hilarious that you're bringing this up again. Who cares if the feature wasn't developed for you, the whole program wasn't developed for you. In fact you've made it perfectly clear you don't even use gimp. You realize that they owe you absolutely nothing.

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.

No, it was pissed of since the beginning because he didn't agree with mine and other user's comments.

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

I don't think so, but OK.

Of course they don't, I never said they owe me anything.

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.

Yes, unfortunately I have no idea about GTK and similar.

It seems unlikely that I would be able to learn, too.

In that case please try to be polite at least. Your answers (in the linked conversation) really don't feel ok. Why not, maybe, think again and, maybe, apologize?

Download area (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/) lists both OSX and Windows builds as not available and in turn redirects Windows & OSX users to older builds pages, both of which are currently 404s. Be good to just go over these things in cursory sense before publicly announcing new release.

Where are macOS builds?

I'd also like to try it out. The download page says: > There is no macOS package yet, sorry. Please check back later. I tried the homebrew method but it installed v2.8 :(

You can download the source code and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
