GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release

Just because some random user posted they have $millions in the bank does not make it true. Posting to a gitlab issue comment is not evidence.

Good, they can go and look for evidence if they need one. It's not my problem some can't read and analyze that thread.

Gimp has previously suffered from not being able to integrate code drops, so I understand why they wouldn't want some consultancy doing work for a fixed period.

Also, the gimp developers have integrated those interested like AlexSa/CMYKStudent quite well through the GSOC project.

Right now Gimp probably has the fastest development it has had in over a decade, so I dont think we have much to be worried about.

Those complaining will also be those that will be unwilling to contribute with their own time or effort, so they can be safely ignored.

You posted more than me and offered a stray github link which I did read and that offers zero evidence that supports any of your claims. Feel free to try again and quote specific portions or explain yourself better if you actually want to convince anyone else.

You are flaming GIMP developers. I am merely asking for evidence which you didn't link the first couple of times. What exactly do you think that github link proves anyway?

Literally a link above. Stop wasting time flaming here.

Just read through this. For me it's clear Gimp has a major organizational problem that makes it so slow, but its developers don't consider it a problem in the first place. So I don't expect it to improve in the sense of pace of development unless maintainers will decide something needs to change.

What specifically is this link that shows GIMP won't accept sponsors? Where exactly is the organizational problem?

You have repeated this but you offered no evidence. Link to your sources.

Well maybe when GIMP 3.0 is released, that will finally appease those people who won't switch to Linux because there's no Photoshop.

That's not the point. They simply don't want to add full time developers even if that was possible. As I said, it's not about not having resources but rather about lack of any interest in doing it. And I think it's bad for Gimp's users becasue taking a decade to implement this feature is insane.
