The GIMP UI Redesign

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the new-coat-of-wax dept.

sekra writes "The GIMP UI Redesign Team has created a blog to collect ideas for a new design of the most popular image manipulation program. Everyone is free to submit suggestions to be published in the blog. Will a new GUI finally get more users to choose The GIMP as their program of choice?"

    ...let me boot up Photoshop, and I'll get a couple ideas out there in a jiffy.

    "Nearly everything"? Hardly. You might also want to add all of the third-party plug-ins to that.

    Plus there's more written material devoted to Photoshop, while I've gotten rid of my "Grokking the Gimp" book.

    Given that the GIMP does nearly everything that Photoshop does...

    Bwah hahahaahahahahahaha!!! The GIMP is a decent basic image editing program (once you get used to it), but to say that it does "nearly everything" that Photoshop does shows just how far removed from the problem most GIMP users/programmers/supporters really are.

    What, you mean like with Qt? No, I'm not kidding; under the covers Qt uses native widget APIs on Mac and Win by default. It just doesn't have to.

    Why does all the open source work have to flow FROM Linux/BSD to Mac/Windows but never back? If you guys all want to be taken seriously as developers and not just professional whiners, perhaps it is time you all started contributing to the open source community, rather than being a bunch of fucking leeches all the time.

    One of the very few women who contribute to open source, and of course she gets attacked. This is par for the course for women in the sciences. Can't you see how mysoginostic this is ? Carol is a fine person.

    Chris DiBona also states "when rimming my boyfriend, I like to fondle his balls and stroke his dick. Usually, he's so aroused by my tongue massaging his asshole (and the amyl nitrate!) that it doesn't take much to make him jizz all over the bathroom stall".

    Also, let's be honest - he's not qualified to implement "hello world."
