As a product designer, I've clocked in countless hours with many many design tools over the year. For raster, vector, page layout, solid modeling, ux, animation, you name it.

I desperately want GIMP to be my, and my design team's, raster tool of choice. That said, the UX is still abysmal, it uses some bizarre UI patterns, and the UX hasn't really evolved over the past two decades. There has been some projects to redo the UX, but they all seem to eventually die on the vine.

I would LOVE an OOS raster tool with GIMP's feature set, and a decent interface.

My tool of choice is Photopea at the moment. The ads are horrible, but it has a broad feature set, is free, and appears to be coded by a single workhorse dev who has basically cloned photoshop as a web app.

There used to be Glimpse, which was a version of GIMP with a UI overhaul and less sensitive name. However, it seems to be gone now.
