Thanks for your work on this! Unrelated but if you haven't tried the open-source photoshop alternative Krita you are missing out. It's basically GIMP but unburdened by 30 years of legacy code.

Wow - I'm surprised Krita has been in development that long. It just qualitatively feels much more modern than GIMP. Maybe it's because I focus more on drawing making heavy use of the brush system which IMHO is significantly better in Krita.

I used to use both GIMP and Krita, but I switched over to Krita-only when many of GIMP's filters were bundled into the G'Mic plugin, which is now installed by default in new releases. You don't get everything but I'll trade it for the UI upgrade (and everything else) xD

Krita is a really nice project, really the most intuitive graphics program in the linux world

I appreciate Krita's UI design, though obviously it is focused on drawing/painting.

In the graphics app space, Krita, Inkscape, and Blender are all competitive with commercial offerings.

Thank you so much (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ I am totally not biased in the slightest, but you should definitely try it out if you haven't already (and want to paint)
