- mmmpop 4y agoI agree with this. GIMP is powerful and a fine piece of software but it truly needs an enlightened UX despot to come in and clean house.
- jonny_eh 4y agoThis seems to be the achilles heal of open-source, the inability to provide even half-decent UX.
- TillE 4y ago"An open source project" can be anything, there are plenty out there which are solo endeavors that don't accept substantial contributions. But I would agree that the classic model of big, slow-moving, design-by-committee open source projects have mostly yielded mediocre results.
