I don't think anyone working in print would use Gimp, though?
why is that though? isn't that the bulk of the criticism? bad UX and lack of features needed for print?
I started using GIMP around 2003 as a small child, and I remember being hyped for 3.0 and non-destructive editing even back then. I'm in my thirties now. Slow and steady wins the race. Congrats to the GIMP team, can't imagine the catharsis they will experience when 3.0 officially drops.
CMYK, finally. Hopefully this will lead to wider adoption, especially in the professional circles...
Edit: To the FOSS hackers who are down voting. You can buy state of the art professional image editing and design software for less than a hundred dollars. Deliver work to one client and you've paid for all your tools. Why would a professional waste their time with GIMP, when they can use all those hours working for clients with good tools and get paid?

> How relevant is print these days? Still quite relevant, especially in some areas. Think about packaging and labeling, there's just not really a way around print in these areas. Besides that, digital print is the future. Print also needs to become clever and data-driven, more personalized and tailored to the recipient, but that's hard work. Example: Just last week I received a catalogue with the fall/winter collecti…

If Inkscape could get a UI for precision positioning, something you could e.g. design an entry form in; and Scribus could polish up, I think a lot of people would move to a FOSS workflow.
is it possible to draw a circle without using a combination of 3 different tools?

Indeed, you can't hurry v3.
I use Gimp from time to time, and often get frustrated with its... unique UI. It's nice to see they're hearing feedback and working on it :D A tip for others that feel the same: if you've used Photoshop before and are used to its UI, try the free Photopea website. It's a Photoshop "clone" that works really well in web (I believe it's a solo dev doing it too). It's replaced Gimp for me lately.
