Does gimp not have a circle?

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)

New version? I’m pretty I’ve heard that statement before…

www.gimp.org/news/2024/…/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/

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

GIMP - GIMP 3.0 RC1 Released

Release news for version GIMP 3.0 RC1

Single window by default did wonders for usability.
That looks damn near usable now

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!

3 is in release candidate. Yeah I think many of the UI changes have been incremental over 2.x versions so it’s definitely not “2.9 looks completely different from 3.0”
The UI looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago. Using single window mode was always an option and only two clicks away
