No, not really. You did say 'feature set'.

Sure, if you like editing with color fidelity loss.

Except non-destructive editing is a major UX improvement.

Except unified transform tool is a major UX improvement.

Except... Well, you get the idea. And I barely got started.

It's almost like you just hate the project and won't accept any changes they do.

I too have my fair share of frustrations with the project — enough to quit it as a team member a couple of years ago. But somehow I don't go around pretending big changes aren't big bc I'm feeling petty all of a sudden.

You can keep assert these things, but do you really think this is acceptable progress of two and a half decades? Look around. It’s not.

I gave a concrete example of a task that is trivial in 2024, and it just does not work nearly as well or as easily. It’s the same functionality of 30 years ago.

Instead, you’re sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming, “it is progress!” Yeah, well maybe technically correct, but the gap has widened. As a project it should be shutdown. It’s zombieware.

Sounds like you are mad at the world and I got in the middle of it. Sorry, I'll see myself out.
Sit by and let nothing happen while you’re out!
