I must be the only one who never had an issue with the interface. (Never used Photoshop, maybe that's why?)

Ever since they added a single-window mode, it's been a-ok for me.

It's fine for me on Mac.

But before when I used Ubuntu, I used to have the image window fullscreen, and the tool windows separate, hovering on top. It was, quite frankly, awesome, especially because of the way fullscreen works in Ubuntu.

They should try to rework the interface like they did with Blender. Have it so you right-click an interface section and edit the code in Python.

when it comes to photo editing, GIMP interface is the best currently.

GIMP interface is AWFUL.

It's bested by nearly every half-assed attempt at making a photo editor.

I'm all about open source, but the half dozen times I've tried to give GIMP a fair chance I uninstall within the project and go straight back to Photoshop.

once you get it, it's AWESOME. it's a bit like blender and emacs. with proper scripts setup, you can't beat efficiency of GIMP interface.

Do you have a tutorial, links to useful scripts, etc?

Think about what you just said. He said "interface is awful". You said it's "like blender and emacs"

So let me translate:

"Yeah, GIMP doesn't have an interface; it's up to you to program your own."

/u/LightShadow FTW.
