It’s absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.

I’ll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I’m sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.

I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.

I stand with op.
