    Gimp is good. I don’t know what gimp haters are always so mad about. The buttons are in different places than in photoshop, big whoop. I have been able to do everything I’ve ever attempted in gimp and I do modding and game development. I just don’t get it.

      You have to use a plugin to even draw a circle properly.

      You can’t make non-destructive changes to things like filtered elements e.g. make blurred/outlined/etc. text and then change the text.

      Content-aware functions

      big whoop

      Just how different it is from Photoshop is literally the biggest complaint people have. And that it’s just unintuitive to many even if you never used photoshop. For gimp to propel in popularity I think it has to become more familiar to what professionals are used to.

        How so? I’ve used GIMP to draw plenty of circles without any plugins.

        I hate both Gimp and Krita, but I prefer Krita.

        Ultimately, drawing freeware just feels bad to use.
