Unfortunately, it follows the current Gnome design language. Gnome's approach to UI design doesn't click with some people, me included. I feel that while the main UI has not changed much since GIMP 2, the dialogs have become far less intuitive to use.

    I was so annoyed by the dialog-buttons-in-title-bar nonsense that I ended up replacing my system gtk3 package with gtk3-classic the first time I used gimp after the 3.0 upgrade. It fixes some other bizarre gnome-isms so GTK3 software is less-jarring under KDE (or ...anything not gnome).

    Gimp has always been such a lifesaver for me. I’m glad to see it still has been getting improvements!

    Look, I appreciate Gimp, but until its selection algorithm, which is straight up ass, gets fixed, Krita will be a better tool for artists.

    "better tool" I use GIMP, Inkscape, and Krita, etc. [each having strengths] why would an artist use just one tool?

    I mean, I suppose I use Gimp as well, but it's never the first tool I reach for.

    I read a comment somewhere that said Gimp is designed for programmers & Krita is designed for artists & I feel like that's pretty accurate.

    best one I've read :-)

    it's a tool made for developer with graphic knowledge not the other way around, there are more ways to shove in your own script than to find something that does what you want
