Integrating OSS Graphics Apps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gathering-tide-spreading-cheer dept.

erikharrison writes "Newsforge had an article recently which proposed an interesting way to make an integrated OSS graphics "suite" - namely, get existing apps to standardize their look and feel. Now, in a short and insightful article, Bryce Harrington (of Inkscape fame) responds with specifics on the advantages and problems with this approach, and where development should go next in the pursuit of a complete OSS stack for graphic artists."

    Implementing a Apple level interface technology for the GIMP is never going to happen. For to do so would be to admit to its current abysmal state.

    Just like the idiotic K-garbage the juveniles working on KDE apps will never go away, because to change now...

    what does gimp have to do with this.

    besides you being just tooo fucking retarded to figure out a menu system.

    seriosuely, the interface is not that wild and hard to use.

    if you cannot figure it out in 5 seconds, stop using a computer. you are basically an idiot.

    Inkscape is a blatant rip-off of the amazing Sodipodi.

    The Inkscape-developer is a fool who can not differentiate between C and Perl.

    Sodipodi's interface is much more usable than anything the moronic Inkscape-developers have ever come up with.

    PS: congrats for the fristy psoter

    PSS: peace to my niggaz MC RMS and DJ ESR from the FOSS-cru
