Make Gimp and other X11 programs more useable
Authored by: stokessd on Aug 20, '09 06:03:56AM

An even bigger thing that would make GIMP actually usable would be to revamp the nightmare of a user interface. But that will never happen because the people writing the GIMP think they are right and won't change.

As someone who uses photoshop (not perfect, but a lot better), going to the GIMP makes me feel like something very unconsensual just happened to me.

You just know when there's an article mentioning Gimp that the Photoshop Phanboys will show up. They're always saying PS is better, has a better interface, is the industry standard, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Can't these phanboys just accept the fact that for most people Gimp does what they want, and that you don't have to spend $700USD on a paint program? Really.

I don't think Gimp's UI is bad; I just wish there was a Mac OS native version that didn't require running X11.
