gimp is kinda jank yeah but when people have Serious Takes about how it needs to improve all i can read is "here is how these four guys working intermittently for free have FAILED to live up to the international company making twenty billion dollars a year"

GIMP is objectively unintuitive and also can’t parse text layers of PSDs properly, it’s designed by FOSS people that have never created tools for professionals. Telling someone to use it for their job is like saying you can make a feature on iMovie. Technically true but not serious.

I honestly think every designer should do some time working on foss stuff in the same way programmers often do, like adobe has massive design teams, foss software are lucky to have one.

yeah there doesn't seem to be a culture of foss design the way there is for programming and i don't really know what there is to do about that

Oh it’s definitely something I’ve thought about lot about, but have continued to come up empty, a lot.
