From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When they actually make it usable compared to other 2D editors this might be useful. Blender did it, why can’t they?
Well...
And 72 people worked on it. For free.
Why not join in, and help out?
That's literally the whole point of GIMP 3
I don't have figures on how many people actually use GIMP, but I'm guessing a lot more than the number of people griping about its usability online.
GIMP 3.0 makes it a lot easier for devs to add functionality and they're starting a UX working group.
But I find it usable, I've been using it weekly for a very long time. I'm happy to see development picking up though with more people joining.
