the only way that open source projects don't suck balls is for people to donate rougly the same as they would for commercial apps. that means forking over at least 150 when using gimp. otherwise it's going to be the same old crap

These guys ARE Qt! If any other toolkit is perceived to be anything other than suckage, where would they be?

That makes the usual hello world in many toolkits require absurd workarounds in Qt, mainly a window with some buttons and actions, "you pressed button 1", "pressed button 2". That doesn't exactly instill confidence in Qt as a toolkit in general.
Haven't done a Java GUI in a few years (thank $DEITY) so I can't remember what sucked hard there, I just have some undescribable nightmares from that era.

And the yet again completly screwed up their filechooser for GTK3 (and for fun, backported the changes to GTK2 - yeah!)
I didn't read up on the filechooser changes (instead hoped they would have done a good job) so what changes were made that screw their filechooser?

I think it would be nice just to be able merge multiple layers together without having to hide all but the ones you want to merge. They have a linking function, but you can't merge linked layers. I don't use GIMP for much but that's the only reason I'd ever bother linking layers anyway. It would also be nice to just be able to select multiple layers without linking (say, to delete them).Last edited by randomizer; 05 May 2012, 12:10 AM.
