            “What do you use this paintbrush for?”

            “It makes colored marks on paper, duh.”


            What is your use case?

            • Slapping text on a screenshot to make memes?
            • Color grading photos?
            • Digital painting?
            • Crudely cutting out celebrity heads and slapping them on nude photos like some pervert with shaky hands, scissors, a glue stick, and some magazines?
            • Marketing copy design?
            • Professional portrait touch ups?
            • Making those sweet ass 90s Rose Art airbrushed rainbow filled binder covers?

            My <2 year old daughter “edits images” when I let her sit at my desk and slap around the keyboard and mouse with an image editor open. That doesn’t mean that what she’s doing is a comparable use case to Photoshop or other professional tools.

              In the past thirty years, I have done everything from photo touch-up to color science to retro pixel art with Gimp. It would probably be faster to list the things I haven’t done, if there’s anything.

              “What do you use your hammer for?”

              Hammering.

                Why didn’t you just start by saying this?

                  also they didn’t mention anything that couldn’t be done in MS Paint lol. something Gimp still doesn’t have - Content Aware Delete which was added in 2010…literally 15 years ago.
