MODERATORS
I've been using GIMP for over a decade. It's slowly starting to become one of the leading sources of frustration in my computing life. The more I learn about it the less it makes any sense.
Not trying to be negative here. Just saying that a modernization is much needed and I'm really excited for this.
Try FreeCAD if you really want to suffer.
FreeCAD had improved massively since the recent 1.0 release, unlike GIMP...
Honestly I switched to Inkscape more and more. Especially for logos.
ironically i find inkscape vastly more intimidating than gimp, inkscape's interface is barely comprehensible at all whereas gimp is just slightly clunky.
It took me only 20 years to convince myself to Inkscape more. But it's worth it. ๐
For occasional paths, I agree with you, but when you really start needing deeper vector work, you either get pushed into inkscale or you end up brute forcing it.
