Why? Genuinely curious about what is wrong with it.
Maybe they dislike the filepicker because it doesn't support icon view, only list view (just like the standard gtk filepicker)? I remember a while back lots of people were getting their panties in a twist over it, it was a huge meme in the gnome hater community.
GIMP could fix that today if they just used the filepicker portal. Otherwise once they get to GTK4.
Honestly filepickers are kinda cringe, no matter what display mode it uses. I just have a shortcut that basically does
find ~ | dmenu | xargs dragon-drop(well, the script itself is a little more complicated, but that's the gist of it) so I can just search for files and drop them into the filepicker directly. Hopefully once everything switches to xdg-portal, someone can make a "filepicker" implementation that just does something like that directly.
