dude if your ui is unusable you're gonna hear about it.
you can't make an open source car that has two joysticks instead of a steering wheel and talk about industry standards and vendor lock ins when people say it sucks.
I mean it's cool that it exists for non drivers who sometimes want to jump on an open source car for a quick trip but if driving is your job then the joysticks being technically functional won't cut it.
that doesn't mean you have to copy everything 1:1, if people are looking for alternatives one reason might be that not everything about the standard car is great. affinity has some great differences in tools but they're designed in a way that makes sense to pro users.
I've said this before but there's a severe lack of designers in the open source space. there should be a platform that enables designers to relatively easily contribute to open source projects without learning git or whatever the fuck.
Git is what is used for software development. It isn't crazy hard to learn and is fairly simple to work with.
ok then tell me how I can fix GIMP's UI without coding.
submit a feature request
thanks, the UI is better now
