    GIMP’s UI and UX are just terrible. I forced myself to use it for months but it never felt like anything ever got easier to do, it’s just so unintuitive. Nevertheless, I thank the devs for all their work, it’s great great tool

      I used PS from v3 (I think?) to CS2 (ish?) before switching to GIMP. I thought the interface was weird until a designer at my job showed me where I was getting confused. So I’ve been a semi-regular G user for the last million years and every once in a while I offer to help my partner with something in PS and honestly I take so long to get anything done because I can’t find it in the PS UI.

        Photogimp is just lipstick. There are root design choices that create the problems.

      Did you reconfigure it much?

      There are preconfiguration packs that make it more like photoshop if you want. Gimpshop I think one is called.

        I didn’t, I will check it out but that is still terrible UX if you need to mod the program to make It intuitive
