For what i heard, a lot of people on the Linux community use Krita for image manipulation, even though, itās intended for digital painting, and GIMP is the one intended for image manipulation, because people donāt like the GIMPās UI.
My issue is, i never understood why they donāt like the GIMPās UI, since i never have issues with it,(Although itās probably because iām used to the UI) so i need to adress this problem and ask you What does the GIMP UI has that you donāt like or hate so much and why you like Kritaās UI over GIMPās?
Before you event comment your answer i need to ask you to do the following:
-
Address each specific issue along with an concise and direct explanation of why you donāt like it
-
Answers such as āI just donāt like itā, āI donāt like where itās placedā or anything alike doesnāt count as āConcise and Directā, we are adults, not 4 year old children.
-
If you can provide a suggestion of how GIMPās UI can be improved, it would help a lot, and maybe this issue can be solved.
-
If someone else commented something you were about to comment, upvote them, this way we can address the most common issues effectively.
-
I need you to watch the screenshots of both UIās, because something that most people donāt know, itās how similar Krita and GIMPās UIs are.
Kritaās UI
GIMPās UI

My ideas on how GIMP can improve itās UI
-
Adding the option of the new UI selected by default, but with the possibility to switch to the new UI.
-
Possibly addding āwork spacesā like Krita would help too, along with the possibility of exporting and importing them, this way people can have custom arrangements of the UI according to the kind of work they will do.
Thanks for reading and hopefully we can address this issue effectively.
