Good video, very much worth watching despite the length. New UI will look something like this:

with an option for a more classic look.

Looks like an enourmous UX improvement too, and a rewrite to QT and eliminating a lot of technical debt will make development faster.

    Now when will Gimp get the same treatment… I know some people like it but I just can’t. I’d rather use Affinity Photo via proton a custom wine version (ElementalWarriorWine)

      Ah, didn’t know it worked with Proton!

      I have an Affinity license that’s just been collecting dust while I use the Photopea web app.

      I usually go with Krita. Not because of the UI, i just learnt to use it first and like it. Or Inkscape for vector graphics.

        Krita I tried for while, but I’ve been spoiled by Affinity Photo’s selection tool. Can’t use path tool or magic wand anymore

      Gimp is a misbegotten, irredeemable piece of UI trash. The fact that it’s been around this long and gets egregiously worse with each iteration is baffling to me.
