    They’ve been completely dropping the ball for years. I used to donate regularly but have completely given up on this project. It’s a farce at this point.

    Thankfully I only have simple needs so Krita suffices and I don’t have to deal with the never-improving UX nightmare and never-releasing changes.

    Yeah, I’m salty. It’s just that GIMP was a shining star of FOSS and it’s just been slowly rotting from inaction.

      Liberapay shows the number of donors has almost doubled in the last few months (look at “view income history”), so i hope it is an indication that they made good changes to the project management and the future will be better.

        Is it because they’re improving, or is it because Adobe keeps pissing people off and donating to GIMP is cheaper than a Photoshop sub?

        I don’t actually have any opinion on gimp one way or another, it does what I need it to do.

        That’s good to hear, and I really would love for things to get sorted out. Gimp 3.x has many improvements for sure but there’s a long way to go and actually releasing these improvements is necessary…

        If gimp can become another blender that would be incredible.
