Ok, so, today I'm noticing that my "brushes" and "toolbox" windows seem to keep disappearing every time I switch from Gimp to another app in the same desktop or switch to a different virtual desktop. So, every time I come back to #Gimp, I have to click on the "windows" menu and reactivate the "brushes" and "toolbox" windows. Wasn't doing that yesterday. Really flow-breaking (even more than the previously-noted changes).

My favorite #GIMP roast:

> GIMP is not a competitor to Photoshop; Photoshop is an image manipulator while GIMP is a puzzle-based image modifier.

@kubuntufocus Gimp is SO useful! I use it for any image editing needs!

BTW, I think you knew that the icon in the post is pretty outdated

@iThreepwood Darum bin ich etwas vorsichtig beim Empfehlen von Linux auf dem Desktop, weil die viel zitierten Alternativen #Gimp #LibreOffice #Bitwig #Mixxx zwar schon gut oder sehr gut sind, aber eben ein anderes Werkzeug. Das benögt unter Umständen grossen Einsatz, der nicht einfach so geleistet werden kann.

@eri okay but while it's actually been my preferred photo editor for over a decade - the gimp team constantly makes decisions that are... Extremely questionable at best, and the choices of what drawing tools to include are just as affected by this.
#Gnome as a whole has a "we know better" attitude to UX and #gimp takes it furthest of all.
I prefer the #KDE approach: sane defaults but you can customize everything. The most user friendly workflow is unique to each user.
