  @mischievoustomato@rebased.taihou.website @kaia@brotka.st @magmaus3@mk.absturztau.be I refuse to believe anyone actually really hates GIMP, it's a based and wholesome project.
  
  There's two types of people who dislike GIMP:
  1. They prefer Photoshop and lick Adobe boot.
  2. They think "GIMP" is offensive.

  @hj@shigusegubu.club @kaia@brotka.st @magmaus3@mk.absturztau.be @mischievoustomato@rebased.taihou.website I don't think you can directly compare the two. One is a raster image editor and the other is a vector graphics editor.

  @SuperDicq @kaia @magmaus3 @mischievoustomato yes, but both get criticism for their UI and it just boggles my mind how someone would not like GIMP but praise Inkscape at all. Like, I get that GIMP might get some used to it, but every time i interact with inkscape it's raw pain

  @SuperDicq As always with free software, someone even released a modification that makes the UI pretty much the same as photoshop; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMPshop?useskin=monobook

    GIMPshop
    
    GIMPshop was a modification of the free and open source graphics program GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), with the intent to imitate the look and feel of Adobe Photoshop. History GIMPshop was created by Scott Moschella of Next New Networks (formerly Attack of the Show!) as an unofficial fork of GIMP. According to Moschella: My original purpose for GIMPshop was to make the GIMP accessible to the many Adobe Photoshop users out there. I hope I’ve done that. And maybe along the way, I can convert a Photoshop pirate into a GIMP user. He encountered resistance from GIMP's lead developers due to the methods he employed to implement his hacks. GIMPshop was originally developed for Mac OS X as a Universal Binary. It was ported to Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Solaris. Development of GIMPshop effectively ceased by 2007, with the final version being based on GIMP version 2.2.11. Some users extended the lifespan of GIMPshop by manually updating GIMPshop's libraries themselves. Features GIMPshop shared GIMP's feature list...

  @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com Considering the last release was in 2006 I doubt this looks anything like modern Photoshop at all.

  It was better before with GtK2, although the GtK3 version isn't too bad one you disable the damn tool groups.

  @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com But yeah this stuff usually ends like all those GNU/Linux distros that try to emulate the MacOS or Windows user experience to make it "more accessible".
  
  It never really catches on because instead of being unique and interesting it just feeling like a cheap bootleg always. It doesn't convince people to switch in any way.
  
  Having something unique and different works way better. People also learn better in an open minded environment where they may expect things to be different instead of reassuring them "everything will be the same like you're used to" when it really isn't.

  @hj @kaia @SuperDicq @magmaus3 @mischievoustomato I find GIMP's UI a bit worse. I wouldn't classify using either as pain, but in Inkscape I imagine the sets of SVG objects and usually am able to do what I need. I can do a lot in GIMP too, but some things require tricky operations (like actually drawing a circle).
