Hi all! We are considering doing the finale release of GIMP 3.0.0 on March 9, Sunday. This feels like we may be in the finale sprint towards the arrival line! 😊 So for all translators in particular, this is the time to push last-minute updates!
After a decade of watching the GIMP community and leadership refuse obvious UI changes insisting it’s just “different” as well insisting on a name we can’t deal with in schools I’m not convinced they’re even serious anymore. My new hope is for the Graphite project to get where it wants to be.
There’s a reason gimp forums are full of first time artists posting pony’s while every competitor open or not is trying new things. There is some new young devs adding amazing things to GIMP (finally), I hope they can steer this into better waters but I’m beyond sceptical.
Yeah, I wish for a “Blender” moment for GIMP. Big improvements to the UI/UX to bring more (non-tech) users and code modernization to bring in devs.
