    with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3

    Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?

    Last time I used gimp was in the late 90s I think. I gather it’s pretty much the same as when I last tried…?

    I’ve found Krita to be pretty good (though I can load slowly on slow machines).

        It is powerful, but usability is as shit as it always has been. Except for specific use cases Krita is the way to go nowadays. Even if it’s focussed on digital painting, it has almost everything you need for digital editing as well, with a much more user friendly UX.

        I admit for the very limited things I do and only occasionally I use Paint.net

        Unfortunately, it’s not available on Linux

        Still in my mind Gimp is much more powerful?

        Yes it is, but it’s also much more complicated. I never fully understood GIMP, I prefer simpler options like Paint.net.

        I use it a fair amount. But I think the name is still an issue for some people. They should change it to GLIMPSE. GNU Libre Image Manipulation Program SoftwarE … or something

    They said 3.0 this year a few months back. I think you could have rebuilt GIMP on GTK4 in the same time it’s taken them to try and port the project up to GTK3.
