Because the truth is that most free applications are designed by engineers with a user experience geared towards engineers (read: shit)

Tru

engineer here, works on my machine

Because it's not photoshop

Because it's a Photoshop knockoff except for the tolerable parts.

Every image manipulation program and every paint program has some nice picture of what you can do with it. Something that takes effort or requires you to be able to draw good.
Gimp only uses a picture of some mushrooms with text on top of it, as if it would be pretty hard to do this with gimp. Why would anyone use this shit if they present a photo with text on it as one of their best stuff you can do with it.

Photoshop has bad UI in a lot of places too and shouldn't be held as the gold standard just because people have baby duck.

You're free to take your genius design knowledge and use it to improve the user interface, or pay someone else to do it, but you won't because you're one of those people who thinks free software means you never have to pay anything or give anything back.

non-engineer here, it works on my machine too, thanks

>windows
just use photoshop faggot

"No."

why? you're using proprietary os, might as well use proprietary software

they should port it to electron

I think it looks very similar. What would you change?

>You're free to take your genius design knowledge and use it to improve the user interface
>implying
Same "argument" as always. This is the reason why free software is a joke, your argument / community mentality is also a joke.

>because you're one of those people who thinks free software means you never have to pay anything or give anything back.
I'll just refer to Heartbleed and it's zero salary single dev. Commie sickness.

>If I want something I have to pay for it or do it myself
>Communism

You are confused, child.

Sure, because we all know web app paint programs are so much more usable than desktop ones

you've never bought photoshop, have you?

you've never had a job, have you?

glad you got the point, keep downloading your warez spyware :)

dude just stop browsing Jow Forums and get a job lmao

after you

done, now get a job so you can buy photoshop

Considering how shit most things with modern up-to-date UX are, GIMP is probably smart to not try and do that.

I'm too intelligent to waste money on useless things

It's fine. Just set it to one window mode and it's perfect.

>using spyware os
>lol don't install spyware

protip this is the layout you want
