    GIMP is not low effort. If you can ‘quickly assemble’ memes, it’s because of previous effort. (I’m studying to be someone who can quickly assemble memes in GIMP)

    That program has a unique UI philosophy. Does it resemble Photoshop? I’ve never used that.

      Never used Photoshop either but from the way everyone and their mother compares it to GIMP when complaining about the UI, I think it’s safe to say GIMP sucks in that regard.

      I’m not gonna lie, the few times I’ve used GIMP to crop a picture, I felt lost as hell.

      Gimp 3.0 is finally actually something you could use to make something quickly

      It still makes some baffling decisions (seriously I fucking hate that deselect is CTRL+SHIFT+D and not CTRL+D. I get why, shift is the “opposite” modifier, but GIMP is the only software I use that does this) and isn’t perfect, but for meme making and general Internet use it’s probably at long-last ready
