GIMP

Ahh, if Gimp was a type of person easily identifiable by an outward trait, I would throw javelins at their cocks.
And miss on purpose if it meant getting a head shot.
Fuckdamnit do I hate Gimp. I'd rather stick my newly roused genitalia in a rambunctious beehive than ever use that shitpile again.
The asswipe magnitude of the developers must be near the MAXIMUM point, which is always serious.
Fuck Gimp. I hope they go extinct.

I have some bad news for you. Not only they will never go extinct, additionally, no open-sores competitor to Photoshop can possibly rise in the next 10 years.

The very existence of the GIMP is the reason Adobe enjoys its de facto monopoly, and their monopoly the reason they have not made any serious improvement for average Photoshop professionals since version 10 ("CS2") - or version 7 from 2002 if you somehow have no use for smart objects.

In the presence of a competitor that, to the casual user and the artless GNU hippie, is a reasonable imitation of Photoshop, it's impossible for any new open-sores project to gain momentum.

Starting from scratch would make it impossible to recruit developers, everyone would just demand that you contribute to the GIMP instead, or at least be a complete re-implementation of it, since everyone knows that the GIMP is the third best free software in existence, after GNU_^/Linux and Firefox.

Forking the GIMP would not allow for any improvement whatsoever, for reasons that seem too obvious to explain.

And contributing to the GIMP is impossible, because the GIMP developers are retarded sociopaths who would do a service to the free software movement and Photoshop professionals everywhere by dying in a fire and taking their competitor to MSPaint with them in their graves. I mean funerary urns.

Just know that you are not alone in your hatred, >>1.
