I boycotted Adobe and stopped using any programs for photo editing when they switched to a subscription model. I was REALLY good at it and just abandoned my skills right then and there. I’ve since started using GIMP but… Off the top of my head, adjustment layers were added LAST YEAR. So, that should give you an idea of how far behind Adobe they are. Maybe Adobe not innovating for 20 years will allow them to catch up.

It's opening up PS and ID after the break and realising the application you once knew inside-out have changed so much, may as well learn a new one instead.

@spacegoat @borosilicate Are you familiar with the action search feature? If you type '/', it pulls up a search box to find and use features. It also shows the menu path & associated keyboard shortcut.

Not an excuse to stop improving the UI, but I've found it to be really helpful myself.

That is my annoyance as well, especially since I took photoshop classes for a couple years in school. But i figure, every time I use GIMP i remember where stuff is a bit better and I get faster at using it.
