GIMP is an odd project, one that I'm not sure is actually being held back by money, considering they've been sitting on a donation of bitcoin since 2014 that now amounts to 1.3 million, and just... haven't used it, at all?

Krita seems like a more promising project, IMHO.

I think it should be clarified that GIMP's structure isn't able to make use of donations to GIMP as a single entity. Edit: or at least wasn't, I hear they can now.

I agree that Krita is more promising though, I switched to Krita years ago and have never looked back.

Ah, thank you for the info, I was not aware. I hope they're able to put that money to good use now.
