GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.
I’ve used it as my primary raster app so I’m way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.
The damn thing was written by a couple of College Students who had no experience with graphic arts and man does it show. The UI has been the number #1 complaint since the 1.0 release back in 1998; how it’s never been updated / overhauled is simply beyond me.
Sorry for asking, I’ve used gimp forever, but I learned on photoshop. Its been a while since I switched, but I don’t remember having any real issues learning gimp
Yeah, I learned to do what I need to do and if they ever change the UI now, I will forever be stuck with the version prior to that. I am NOT relearning the interface.

It looks good to me…
Why? Looks basically the same as photoshop, which everybody seems to love.
Among other things:
You can change the icon theme in the settings to a color one. That’s what I always do. The scaling can be changed as well.
May I ask what are some of the arcane options supposed to be?
How do you change scaling of buttons?
Not at PC for a few days but IIRC I was overwhelmed whenever going through any drop down menu.
Edit > Preferences > Interface > Icon Theme > Custom icon size
Newer versions of Photoshop have like 8 buttons and a toolbar which is terrible imo.
It is? How so?

The thing is, it’s virtually useless for any real colour work, as it’s rotten from the core.
So it needs:
I hate to say it, but it’s probably more efficient to start fresh.
But it did get a UI overhaul a few years back. Seems good enough
