  1. Yeah, at this point they should have just skipped GTK+-3 and gone straight to 4.

  2. I cut my teeth on the Adobe Suite back in the day (nostalgic noises for Macromedia/Adobe PageMaker) and ran a (legally obtained!) copy of Photoshop 7.0 for years through WINE, but I made the switch to GIMP a few years ago and never looked back. Now, though, my kid is getting really good with Photoshop CC (education licensing = drug dealer giving you a discount on your first hit), and I have no idea how anything works in their new system.

  3. I came to make this comment. I have a really hard time recommending this software in workplaces and other settings that try to be actively inclusive. I usually just refer to it as the "GNU Image Manipulation Program" (Imp is also a term people should avoid as it's used as a derogatory term for people with dwarfism).

  4. Massively triggered. You're not wrong, but Blender has the least intuitive UX of any 3D design program in existence.

  5.  @qunas101  It's possible for software to be highly capable and customizable while also being straightforward and user-friendly for beginners trying to perform simple tasks. Say what you will about Adobe and Autodesk (and I have a lot to say), but my 8yo learned to use Premiere Pro and TinkerCAD without any help whereas it took all of my considersble Google Fu to figure out how to do crossfades in Kdenlive and combine 3D objects in Blender. But maybe I'm just old. 🤷‍♂️

  6. You mean the ML-based filters and new generative AI plugins?
