Am I the only one who feels this "article" which is most probably an llm made and could have been a tweet only ?

Why, because the only 3.0 features it mentions are SVG icons in the toolbar and the plugin API? No, you're not the only one.

And not the non-destructive editing that is the big thing IMO. I will likely finally say bye to Photoshop. Lightroom was replaced with darktable two years ago.

If you want to replace Photoshop with something open source, I recommend Krita, everytime I give gimp a try it ends up being a frustrating waste of time.

I remember excitedly reading the announcement for gegl that was finally going to bring non-destructive editing to gimp. If I'd been told it was going to take at least 20 years to actually happen I would not have believed you.

But whatever, I'm glad it's finally here.

The main news is that Gimp made a release candidate for 3.0:

I see that a few people have submitted that link, but they don't seem to be getting much attention:

So this article is boosting some visibility to the original news, while having little content otherwise.
