GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.
The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.
Yeah, was thinking it be quite a cool move to rename it to something nice with the big 3.0 release …
Welp, Krita does everything I need (and more) so I’ll keep using that.
That would have been a good idea, but alas they think they have good reasons for not doing so. Which, they don’t as their argument isn’t really sound, but people have their strongly held convictions even if they’re incorrect especially when it comes to foss projects, lol.
Glad you have something else good to use!
