Really confused by this.. $235K is not nearly enough to make even one of these apps. Unless they can get devs to work for free it's not happening.

Also Affinity exists, their suite has basically the same apps as they claim they will build, they have one-time very reasonably priced licenses. The only potential difference is that you need to pay for major version updates, from 1 to 2 took a bit under 10 years if I'm not mistaken.

Affinity has allowed me to not use Adobe for a long time, (until they bought Figma.. but well).

And it seems odd to me to clone very old software in a world that has evolved.

Anyway, always pro having more options, so good luck to them!

I have to assume they’re gonna fork GIMP, make the UI look more like photoshop, and call it a day.
