GIMP

I will be forever thankful for GIMP bringing us GTK and GNOME.

The name is a huge self-own. I almost convinced a church to go fully FOSS awhile back, but the church people couldn’t handle the photoshop replacement being called gimp. So then they would’ve still needed Photoshop, so the whole Linux thing was kind of a non starter

I use GIMP because of no other viable alternatives but let's be honest : it's counterintuitive and not that good.

@Wataba@sh.itjust.works

'I make all my images with the GIMP." (Cracks whip at chained up leather clad person in a leather body suit and mask) "DRAW FASTER YOU WORTHLESS POS AND MAYBE MOMMY WILL LET YOU SEE AN OUTLINE OF A TITTY LATER."

With rare exceptions, the venn diagram of FOSS software and software names with broad mass appeal is two circles, a billion light-years apart.

And CAD is ridiculously complex. Students also practice like half a year to cope with the proprietary market leaders. I sometimes think people complain because they confuse tools made for professionals with some game on easy mode.

But yeah, FreeCAD also isn't on par with professional tools. It's surprisingly capable and has a lot of features. And they made it crash way less. 2 years ago it used to crash several times each project when adding some chamfers or some other easy stuff and I had to do lots of stuff in order or it wouldn't work. As of now I'd say it's perfectly usable for the average hobby project. Just don't expect any CAD software to be usable without any kind of background knowledge. There's other tools for that kind of 3D design.

"Fine" meaning "it's technically possible to use it."

Adding and editing text is a nightmare. I feel like the only way you could say with a straight face is if you haven't used Photoshop since 2006. Hell, PowerPoint has a better interface in a lot of ways.

I hate dunking on them like that but let's not lie to ourselves here. GIMP is good enough but the UI was clearly made by engineers, not artists

dude i'm designing something right now and freecad is just what i need. Thanks!

I've spent 3 years learning freecad, and it's bad, it's entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it's still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia...

As for gimp... I've really tried adding it to my workflow, but it's been a massive headache, I'd likely use photocraft over it given both options...

Oh yeah Krita is FAR better than Gimp ux wise 100℅

Inkscape's UI is very unintuitive to me, as someone used to Illustrator. The necessary tools mostly exist, but not where I would look for them.

> “if you used to photoshop layout”

> look inside

> same layout as in Photoshop, and the panels are movable

By now I'm convinced Photoshop users lack pattern recognition.

so like vibecoders!

If you're conflating UI and UX then I can't do anything for you :P

Blender is four years older than GIMP. Blender is lightyears ahead of GIMP.
