    We are talking about software built by, in many cases, volunteers. The only way it will get better, or good enough for the average person, is if those who can help do so. The only real alternative in practice is open source the way IBM, Google, and Oracle do it, and they wouldn’t do that anyway if the volunteers didn’t exist.

      @atomicbocks @anewfox We actually have a UX site where we ask for user feedback and design suggestions - no coding required! https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/work_items

      Feel free to contribute if interested. It’s not always immediately possible to implement everything, but we do our best as we’re able - recent news posts have included a UX/UI section so we can highlight the work being done and show that we *are* willing to take feedback. :)

        Thank you for being responsive, positive, and understanding of the ‘common user’ in this thread. I have seen quite the opposite attitude from other GNOME software contributors.
