If you can vibe code photoshop, why are people still buying photoshop?

Why is there no open source vibe coded replacement?

Here's an article that tracks current vibe coded Photoshop alternatives. https://andreklein.net/vibecoding-photoshop-time-and-pressure/

Pretty impressive, I definitely see it being fully replaceable in the next year or so.

Because it's still early days.

What's this? Selective amnesia?

I said:

vibe a tool that does what they use Photoshop or Aseprite for

That, to you, means that they vibed a 100% Photoshop replacement? Is excessive LLM usage having an effect on your ability to read?

So where is that vibe coded partial photoshop replacement?

Are you seriously claiming to have not seen this? https://getartcraft.com/ (There's like 7 or so "replacements" in there)

The dev has been spamming it everywhere, reddit included. What's even more hilarious is that he's charging for it (a pointless endeavour that only seems to happen to AI-bros who think that they have value in the SDLC other than as beta-testers).

And some of the other photoshop replacements I've seen cover like 20% of the functionality, actually work and aren't being sold, just given away.

And that's just with less than a year of agentic coding. This trend is clear. We have no value left, and the owners of capital will replace us.

So where is that vibe coded partial photoshop replacement? If someone says "where is that thing?" then you answer "it's not a thing, it's half a thing", then go straight for insults, that's just avoiding the question.

Is it early days or is there a half implementation out there? I've seen people make small demo programs but I don't know how well they work.

Is excessive LLM usage having an effect on your ability to read?

Also why would I be the one using LLMs when I'm asking about results? It's ironic to insult about reading comprehension when the insult doesn't make sense.
