Why is there no real competition for Adobe? GIMP?

GIMP is way more capable than you’d expect. But the UI, honestly, one of the worst, & it’s been like that forever.

They pushed some major updates recently, like non-destructive editing & proper layering, & much more, some pretty fundamental stuff, a genuine milestones. But the UX barely changed.

It’s a perfect example of how bad design ruining great open-source software.

Blender managed to avoid this fate, I still don’t understand exactly how they did it
