Edit: My bad, I didn't notice the character correctly

Chinese is full of beautiful compound words like this. "You're welcome" for example (bukeqi, 不客气) is "not guest air". Happy (gaoxing, 高兴) is "high mood", or cheerful (kaixin, 开心) is "open heart".

From the post you replied to:

They could make the “classic” vs “modern” UI toggle-able on first launch.

Totally understandable in your case. I'd like to see GIMP merge the PhotoGIMP project and make further modifications to bring the app more in line with current best practices. They could make the "classic" vs "modern" UI toggle-able on first launch. Its underlying functionality is not bad, but it's just so far outside of what people are used to today. It's like like asking a random 20-year-old to use dialup and Netscape Navigator.

I also find that intuitive is a relative term. Relative based on your own experience.

That's a very good point. As a counterpoint though, pretty much every other app (Affinity Photo, Photopea, even Krita to a certain extent) emulates the PS workflow, which makes GIMP feel even more odd. Its paradigm was probably OK in the early 00s but the world has moved on.

I was using Mac OS 9 at the time! But PS 7's workflow was already pretty similar to what it is today, and far more intuitive than GIMP which I tried for the first time in 2006-ish.

It works exactly like Photoshop always did.

Unequivocally false (source: been a PS user since version 7)

Absolutely, along with the many other "mistakes" that Belarus made that conveniently minimize its entanglement in this war.

I'm still convinced Luka did that on purpose.

Norway and the US are using hacks. Whenever there's a shortage of something, a farmer in Bumfucksville, Iowa or fisherman in Bømføkstad, Norway finds some immense reserve of it.

Wow, another map where the old GDR borders are easily visible. This time they are voting for Nazis. Horseshoe theory proved correct yet again?

That's a relief! Hopefully the far-right wave has bottomed out by the next election.
