    As it should, I've tried twice to use GIMP, always gone back to Photoshop.

      For how relatively well known it is (it’s probably like the next most well known piece of FOSS after Linux and Blender) I can’t believe how bad a piece of software GIMP is.

        I hope you mean the UX. I think attacking it’s functionality would be unfair. It does everything good and right … technically.

        If the UX is objectively bad or “just” subjectively might be hard to find out. I would assume if there are objective UX mistakes, some contributor might have been able to deal with that by now. But of course it doesn’t change anything if a majority doesn’t like it for subjectice reasons. It’s part of UX design to deal with subjective aspects.

        Then all the defenders go “But it’s free and open-source!” and you can tell they are just paying lipservice.

        I use Gimp a lot.

        It does its job very well, but that job is not to be an alternative to photoshop.

        I used GIMP before Photoshop and I still massively prefer GIMP.

        I really think its a case of what you got used to first.

  Paint is not designed to be GIMP/Photoshop alternative. It is just a simple drawing program. Although it is great that they have finally added these long-awaited features, as I may finally move from paint.net, which is also great but it has one huge drawback - it is not a single window, which is a hassle.
