Could be useful. GIMP never had a, to me, useful interface. Back when they added "export as" in addition to "save as",
I told them to please don't do this. Their response was
that they want to appeal more to professional designers.
I just want a simpler user interface. It is kind of strange
that we, as users, depend on upstream developers dictating
down UI choices onto us, even more so when things change
between versions. I want to be able to choose the UI at all
times on my own. Yes, I can patch the source code, but I
mean something integrated into the toolkit, as-is. GTK2
had that to a limited extend, you could easily re-assign
key combinations, such as in the old bluefish editor. Then
GTK3 changed this. I feel that these toolkits are constantly
getting worse rather than better over time. One day we need
to free ourselves from upstream developers dictating whatever
they like to. So, from this point of view, best of luck to the
photogimp folks - not sure how well it works, but they make a
point with this that I totally understand. (I also have to admit
that I often just stick to the default, even though it annoys me,
but keeping up with more and more microchanges on my own, also
adds to my own burden and time investment. But I really wish I
could stop having to accept whatever upstream dictates downstream.) |
