That's... cool, I guess?

Despite Linux, llvm and Blender proving that open source can beat closed source, GIMP has failed for a very long time. If Microsoft sold something like GIMP, we've never hear the end of criticisms.

I'm not good enough to fix it, but I hope one day a team of great programmers simply restart from scratch. If they simply copied Affinity's or Photoshop's UI and core functionality, we'd have a winner.

I would guess you don't need to start from scratch, just take the functionality, fork and put a Photoshop-like UI on top of it. That would already be so much better.

As a GIMP / Inkscape user who hasn't used photoshop / illustrator, what is so much better about Adobe's offerings?
