I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.
(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but… [x] doubt)

Rather than trying to be different for the sake of being different, they’ve realized that photoshop and similar UIs actually make for pretty great UX so they’ve adopt it.
TLDR
This was gimp 2.0 when it came out
This is GIMP 3.0 RC
I think I’m still using 2.6.something…
Looks about the same, but I didn’t know they hit 3 finally. Time to upgrade, break everything, and loose all my custom brushes & textures!
