I'd like to congratulate the GIMP team on the upcoming major release. Lots of volunteer work goes into open source projects, and it's remarkable for a codebase to keep evolving over the course of nearly 30 years.

To everyone complaining about the UX, let's either accept that GIMP does not have the development resources of Photoshop or else propose specific improvements in the GIMP project backlog.

Or suggest alternatives to GIMP. The image editor space is an open market, not a fan subreddit.

Isn't the very concept of "open market" meaningless in the context of free (libre) software?

I mean people keep comparing GIMP with Photoshop and that's obviously incorrect. I'd more or less agree that the "market" of free software image editors is an "open market" and GIMP is a big player there so to say.
