GIMP's Next-generation Imaging Core Demonstrated
brendan0powers writes "GIMP developer Øvind Kolås gave a public demonstration of the Generic Graphical Library (GEGL) on Friday at the Piksel 06 festival in Bergen, Norway. GEGL has long been slated to replace the core image processing framework of the GIMP, bringing with it entirely new data models and operations — but development had languished to the point where many critics had written the project off entirely." Linux.com and Slashdot are both part of OSTG.
Yeah, like Blender has improved.. oh wait.
How we know is more important than what we know.
... but development had languished to the point where many critics had written the project off entirely.
So GIMP been limping all these years?
Great... I use the Gimp and drive a Saturn. What does that say about me?
The problem is that the GIMP's UI is not consistent with any other UI I've ever come across. Sure, it's probably easy-to-use once you already know it. But why not make it the same as other apps?
Because all of us who know the GIMP would then have to learn a new UI.

That you're neither rich nor a graphic artist?
Pardon my American sensibilities, but I like Øvind Kolås based solely on the difficulty of typing and pronouncing his name. Woo woo alien character set!
