  Yes but the Adobecucks have proven time and again they’d rather take ungreased Adobe pole than learn an alternative.

    Read a review by someone, this vibed up solution isn’t going to win anyone over either because it evidently sucks. It may imitate the UI more closely for what works, but not much works adequately.

      Tbf it’s declared “early alpha”, so not surprising.

        At least my experience is that a vibe coded app gets to ‘early alpha’ then stays there. If AI is augmenting a developer who is otherwise competent and they don’t let it get ahead of their own understanding, it can work out though not as ‘miraculously fast’ as this. If AI can oneshot an application then it can also work out. If a project vibes itself in a week or two to ‘looks like what it should be but isn’t good enough’, then thus far every one I see is doomed to sit there, because the AI can’t finish it and if you let the GenAI produce that much code, it’s generally not serviceable even for very capable developers.

        I spent a lot of time last week basically peeling back an overly vibed attempt at an application by a colleague. It was too flaky and incomplete and deleting large sections of it was frankly more practical than trying to rework it. It had gotten to the point where every attempt to try to have GenAI fix it one way would just break something else. That project was, essentially a fairly small command line utility, I fear to think what something the level of a Photoshop knockoff would be like.

      Ya it’s a buggy mess. It’s foreshadowing Adobe’s doom and that in itself deserves a cheer.

    GIMP is awful though. I havent seen the new ui yet, but the old one was unusably bad

      try krita, specially for digital painting with tablet

        I’m not trying to make a painting with a drawing tablet, though. I just want to edit the alpha values of an image.

      Have you considered that photoshop is also awful, and pretty much visually 1:1 to gimp at a glance

    Yeah but Adobe just works. Although recent versions suck hard. But there’s nothing wrong with a pirated older version. As long as Adobe doesn’t get any money it’s fine for me.

    AI is just pure evil, which is harmful to the environment, water and power supply, and helps tech giants become even more powerful.

  You are not going to get a 10-year graphic designer to exclaim “Oh, wow, it’s called GIMP? I’ve never heard of it before, thank you!”

    If only there were other projects besides Gimp!

    They wouldn’t care about this either.
