Yeah I totally agree, I love Photoshop UX colors and general function. It's been a while though.

On the other hand GIMP has a HUD command palette with hotkey / and you can search for all image functions which is fine with me as I use my keeb a lot.

And I did import PS hotkeys to go with my many years of memory and it helped me feel at home much better.

I have used many image editors over the years and I can at least say for basic functions, cropping, scaling, art it opens fast compared to wine and the pre 3.x UI is so much nicer to use.

I would definitely not recommend a cold switch for anyone at a job, the transition would be frustrating and problematic. But learning the "life raft" as a backup seems sensible.

It was a hard hit to my ego going from a PS God back to a peasant in terms of output, but I'd say the last few years the tooling has improved tremendously and I can say I'm a novice or mid tier photo editor in GIMP.

The text tool is nowhere as robust as PS, I felt like PS was a all in one printer one stop shop. But then there's Inkscape so I am okay with dividing my functions up among a few tools instead of only 1.

I've designed concepts for houses in GIMP as weird as that may seem.

God do I hate 2.8 and 2.10 UX it was soo bad in terms of getting out of my way and an embarrassment at work, 2.99.xx thankfully is light years apart.

Edit: Also the GEGL non destructive fx stuff is really interesting and G'MIC Qt addon filters

If Tesla won and Edison didn't imagine not even needing data over wired DC when the entire internet could be wireless AC.

Just like the xz backdoor I agree "nothing to see here, move along" seems like bad advice.

It is curious to wonder how much state actors and militaries are involved in weaponizing FOSS culture to purge potential perceived opponents.

For this reason sticking to technological merit and leaving personal beliefs out of FOSS seems wise.

FOSS shouldn't be state actor's play thing. When leadership behaves radically and is exclusive it looses my respect & support.

Japan clearly doesn't understand they need to make a Steam for manga.

If Nintendo was smart they would SELL their stuff on Steam. But they are Xenophobic and don't want to play outside their sandbox. That plus Japanese-boomer is a whole new kind of boomer.

When he was living in New Zealand a few years ago it was first noticeable. Good for him. In Gaben we trust.

Jokes on them I block them on the DNS level.

I'm making a list, and I'll be checking it thrice lol.

Gonna ban all major sites and IPs. The Internet used to be about the small guy not the downtown.

ALL ANTI-CHEAT IS SPYWARE.

ALL DRM IS THEFT.

The bullies won.

Maybe Nintendo should sue the power company for providing electricity for those people who played Zelda ahead of time.

While they're at it they should sue VMWare too and maybe reboot the API lawsuits of Oracle vs Google.
