RIP shrooms, long live shrooms.

When they actually make it usable compared to other 2D editors this might be useful. Blender did it, why can’t they?

Well...

  • 384 reports were closed as FIXED.
  • 442 merge requests were merged.
  • 1892 commits were pushed.
  • 31 translations were updated

And 72 people worked on it. For free.

Why not join in, and help out?

That's literally the whole point of GIMP 3

I don't have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I'm guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.

GIMP 3.0 makes it a lot easier for devs to add functionality and they're starting a UX working group.

But I find it usable, I've been using it weekly for a very long time. I'm happy to see development picking up though with more people joining.
