I cannot support 2.8

Developers of GIMP,

I realize that the GIMP is written by programmers and not photographers or artists. I can no longer see financially supporting the GIMP beyond 2.6 due to the poor decisions made in 2.8. I much prefer to use GIMP over PS and other commercial software I have at my disposal.

It is with a heavy heart I tell the GIMP community. Unless the developers correct obvious issues made by "so-called" improvements, in the next release, I see no future for GIMP at all. I know there are few of you who will read this and say, who cares? I do. That is why I will continue to use 2.6.7 for as long as I can.

But the developers of GIMP will have to do it without my funding until they get back on the right track. Until then, I will be waiting.

Sincerely,

Marc

I am GIMP user from time when GIMP came out and I was all the time Unix user. For me is GIMP 2.8 better than 2.6 and I believe that Photoshop is written by programmers too

Hi
1) Yes photoshop is written by programmers too but these programmers are assisted by professional users of image editing and professional photographers.
2) Photoshop is first made for professionals needs, then for "amateur" users. For Gimp, it is the opposite. Regards

Thank you both: for being honest, and for being supportive.
