The Gimp is not one of them.
To be fair, GIMP would be in a much better state if they'd just changed the fucking name when that became "controversial" so the FOSSdev spergs could stop arguing about whether or not it's some sort of -ist and actually focus their autism on development.

Yeah no.

There's been too much sucking the CoC lately.

Completely agree, the name is very offensive and ableist. It should be renamed to Natural Image Generator GNU Editing Resource.

Anyways, I haven't used GIMP in years. The lack of native CMYK support (as far as I can tell) is a bit of a deal-breaker for me.
 
Bro GIMP is fine

Photo and video editors are pretty shit on Linux.
GIMP may be full featured, but the user experience is fucking retarded and PhotoPea being the only thing addressing good user design while being "freemium advertising-supported web browser software written in javascript" is absolutely terrifying, Adolf Hitler please save me, I'm not using that shit.
They did good with Krita, it's for drawfags though and it doesn't have as many filters and tricks as The GIMP.
Krita's filters and 'filter layers' leave a lot to be desired, specially with the new non-destructive filters on GIMP 3.
They at least have a 'Smart Patch Tool', reminiscent of content-aware patching, but no content-aware scaling, : - (.
Krita also has a different way to "mask layers", you group(ctrl+g) them first then the 'inherit alpha α' starts working, it's confusing for people coming from other software like Photoshop, but once you get the hang of it, I thought it was genius and very dynamic and flexible.
I later tried to do some masking on GIMP and it was fucking annoying versus what Krita came up with, GIMP copied how Photoshop and others do it, which I find shittier.
Just boot up Krita and group some layers, draw a base shape on the bottom layer and then some colors on the upper layers, you can stack as many as you want, play around with each of their 'Blending Mode' (Normal, Multiply, etc.), then toggle the 'inherit alpha α' on them (or just on a group which holds all of them).
Did they come up with a better way of masking?
 
Does it fix that gay ass thing where I have to manually set a layer to actually be the size of the document after I paste something in?
  • Don’t know how big to make your drawing? Simply set your paint tool to expand layers automatically as needed.
sounds like it
 
Although the funniest thing is, it STILL is not using the latest GTK, and version 3 means, among other things, that they finally got rid of the code using the old-old-stable GTK 2.
It's being said that getting it onto GTK 4 will be much faster (not needing 13 years) since the way it is now is less hacky. Check back in a decade to see how it goes.
 
The text itself being able to be changed after applying effects (and the effect applying to the new text) sounds really nice, if that's what that is. It's annoying on gimp2 sometimes to apply an effect and decide much later that you want to change the text.
I'm mainly interested in the dynamic canvas size. I don't like the manual resizing process in 2.0.

GIMP was only usable when the De-Weirdifier plugin was still around, or the Seashore fork of it that gave it a sane interface.
