Every time I have to use #GIMP it's an exercise in frustration as it doesn't use many of the established image editing paradigms that have been standardized for decades. Today's lesson: Selecting a portion of a bitmap layer with the rectangle tool and then dragging the selection is.... odd.

n.b.: I know this is *possible* I'm just saying it's not *discoverable* by anyone that has used bitmap editing tools their entire 30 year career

I wouldn’t say it’s because of a different design, but because of a bad design, like really bad. Sketch was vastly different from anything we used for vector editing, yet it was a good design, so we adopted it. A great example from FOSS is Blender. It turned the 3D modeling experience upside down, but it was a stellar design.
