    To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability. It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

      A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that’s true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That’s why “industry standards” are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.

        My hate comes from wanting it to work like LView Pro. There’s no Linux image manipulation program that comes close to meeting the standard they set in 2001.

        Helpful Feedback is fine. As the OP said there is no need for disparaging feedback.

          Declaring that the only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work is not a good way to solicit constructive feedback.

                Right, and the initial sentence

                To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability.

                modifies the rest of the text

                It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

                Point being, feedback is welcome, disparaging opinions are not.

                Nobody declared that “only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work.”

                Reading comprehension, my friend.
