I want to be happy for Gimp3, but after so long and so much work, it feels like too little too late. :(
Discussion
Gimp is a strong argument for FLOSS.
Don't get me wrong, I love gimp but Adobe is world's ahead.
I support FLOSS since the problem isn't software making money off of things, the problem is software making money unethically by collecting users data, etc.
Never too late to become the open source project that liberates Adobe slaves.
But that's the issue. Gimp doesn't have any of the filters or AI features people are using today on Photoshop.
GIMP 3 was not meant to add tons of features.
The goal was to rewrite it's core to add GEGL support and color space support, etc. so it can eventually become more competitive.
Playing with it right now (using Diolinux Photoshop clone stuff). As far as my "backend developer" art skills are concerned, it's more than good enough 😀.
