    Gimp has been fine for many tasks for the last 20+ years, yes it’s not Photoshop and may never be a 1:1 replacement.

    But I’m sure that has never been the goal.

      I don’t know, around 2002 it was only a bit behind, well outside of the weird ui and since then unfortunately not much has changed for Gimp. Back then I felt that they were quite interchangeable.

      It’s 2024 and GIMP will only now be getting the ability to do non-destructive editing through adjustment layers. It has been fine for many simple tasks, but for anything that’s more complex than a Lemmy shitpost, it’s been rough for that reason alone

        And yet without that “critical feature” people have still used Gimp for much more advanced editing.

          Yeah. And I bet most, if not all of them would’ve been a lot happier with that feature. It makes things so much easier, so much more flexible.
