wait people are supposed to use GIMP I think it was for that special level of hell for graphic designers
Apparently it depends on who you ask in here.... some think that people should just use it and be grateful for having it because it's free! Others claim that it was never aimed at being a useful tool - mission accomplished, I guess! Congrats? Others think it's a perfectly fine piece of software because they've never edited photos for a living or done any graphic design work but it checks off feature boxes, so it must be good.
This is all so indicative of the whole open source software community. Arrogant developers who think that just because they wrote a piece of code, the public should lavish them with praise regardless of how useless that software should be. I did a thing, so honor me!1!!
