# Nah, GIMP is awful.
People that use it are also awful. Worse than Mac users tbh.

# Last I tried gimp (about 5 years ago?)
It was still ridiculously primitive even compared to my ancient PS CS1. E.g. there was no preview when setting parameters on filters, so you’d have to choose settings blind, take a look, undo, tweak settings, try again, repeat… until you conclude it’s clearly still not ready to be used by anyone who values their time.

# I use it, but then I've never used anything else so I've got nothing to compare it to.
I rarely make images these days so fuck learning to use another program.

# It's made by people with zero UX/UI skill (and let's face it, social).
They desperately need to engage with some non-basement-dwellers and fix it.

Changing the shit name might help too...

# UX lol
Wah my free open source software doesn't have the transitions and animations that convince me I'm using quality software like on my Apple buttplug.

Wah there are people making better quality art using free open source software on non-proprietary computer hardware so to feel better about myself I'll criticise them personally.

# I think there are still a couple of bundled filters/scripts that don't have an auto preview,
and 1 or 2 that don't even have a preview at all, I think they're usually labelled 'legacy' or whatnot, and I think the last time they were standard was longer than 5 years ago.

'Ridiculously primitive' is subjective. I never owned PS, my previous experience was with some wanky proprietary Apple shite, Deluxe Paint, MS Paint, and Mouse & Cheese. It's obviously more advanced than any of them and always has been.

PS was always overrated, and nowadays you can't even own it so it is sadly worthless.
