  • I really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.

    I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.

    Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.

    I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.

    IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.

    Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.
