Even if it works despite being AI slop that’s been developed in a mere 4 days (?) and somehow has all these contributors, I’m not sure I agree with the idea.
It’s cool that they went with Rust for it, but I would have much preferred if all that effort went towards improving GIMP and existing open formats.
If it works then I guess it’s the same end result at the end of the day, but it would suck if GIMP doesn’t end up being the one to put a nail on Photoshop’s coffin after all these years of serious development by humans.
Edit: I already see the kneejerk dislikes coming, I’m just interested in starting a conversation about the idea of it, I also dislike the fact that it’s AI slop as I already implied. I’d appreciate joining the conversation instead of dislike bombing with no argument.


anything to avoid having to use Gimp, moth supposes. moth has been using Gimp since moth was a larva, and it’s always been one of the worst experiences in open source software.
Imagine being this mad at gimp. lmao
moth isn’t mad at gimp for stagnant mediocrity any more than moth is mad at league of legends for it.
