GNUIMP
As a product designer, I’ve clocked in countless hours with many many design tools over the year. For raster, vector, page layout, solid modeling, ux, animation, you name it.
I desperately want GIMP to be my, and my design team’s, raster tool of choice. That said, the UX is still abysmal, it uses some bizarre UI patterns, and the UX hasn’t really evolved over the past two decades. There has been some projects to redo the UX, but they all seem to eventually die on the vine.
I would LOVE an OOS raster tool with GIMP’s feature set, and a decent interface.
My tool of choice is Photopea at the moment. The ads are horrible, but it has a broad feature set, is free, and appears to be coded by a single workhorse dev who has basically cloned photoshop as a web app.
There used to be Glimpse, which was a version of GIMP with a UI overhaul and less sensitive name. However, it seems to be gone now.
Pity about the name. Even when management or clients have been open to doing things differently, I simply will not risk uttering the name of the software or suggesting we try it out. I think GNU should be respected in the name, but the rest is presumably a joke for immature people. Not a footing I really want to be on when trying to justify something…
Are you preemptively clutching other people’s pearls?
Consider that I know these people very well. Also from experience, they avoid any headaches related to something that potentially runs perpendicular to their stated policies (overseen by HR) of inclusion of people with disabilities, respectful work environment, etc.
Scoubidou (Craftlace, scoobies, lanyard, gimp, or boondoggle) is material used in knotting craft.
Seems like you’re really worried about other people being worried about other people being upset about a crafting material.
That doesn’t scream maturity.
