    It’s worth mentioning that GIMP is mainly developed by two developers. If you wish for the development to be faster, you should consider donating.

      GIMP is an odd project, one that I’m not sure is actually being held back by money, considering they’ve been sitting on a donation of bitcoin since 2014 that now amounts to 1.3 million, and just… haven’t used it, at all?

      Krita seems like a more promising project, IMHO.

        I think it should be clarified that GIMP’s structure isn’t able to make use of donations to GIMP as a single entity. Edit: or at least wasn’t, I hear they can now.

        I agree that Krita is more promising though, I switched to Krita years ago and have never looked back.

          Ah, thank you for the info, I was not aware. I hope they’re able to put that money to good use now.

        Literally every meme I’ve ever made was done in GIMP. I can say that the software needs non-destructive editing that applies to transforming layers. So far there’s only non-destructive effects on the layers, but discarding 20 years of work because the software is not a 1:1 copy of Photoshop seems silly.
