So even if these tools never reach 100% parity with Adobe, if they offer the basics, and they're free and open source, it will be a win.
My distaste for vibe coded apps aside, I wish them the best of luck.
It seems it's buzzing because it make people who post about it, buzz.
We live a strange time.
No. They suck the oxygen out of the open-source ecosystem for other more credible software, such as Photopea or Gimp or FreeCAD.
I find that unless I have very detailed specs with rigorous completion verification/criteria (manually atm) or tests. It’s like 60/40 at best.
And adding all the tricks only gets me to like 75-80.
Tbh I am using cheaper Chinese models (ds4.1f) and only pay for the $20 plans from the us labs
You're free to use Gimp today. Almost zero professionals actually do.
But there are thousands of free tools for those people already, the point is this guy is saying he cloned the entirety of the adobe creative suite with vibe coding in a week. That's not true. He made a bunch of simple and buggy "creative suite flavored" apps. That's a completely different thing than what he claims.

IMO it is vaporware until shown to be otherwise.

Just revisit this discussion in 6 month and 24 months.

I tried the Photoshop one when they promoted it a few days ago here. I loaded up one of the client projects I'm working on right now and I could barely move the document or do anything it was so laggy and every single button/feature I tried to use had some kind of bug.
Maybe they've fixed everything in 2 days but I kind of doubt it.

The very first thing I tried to do - create a new document at a specific resolution and DPI - didn't work. It completely (and silently) ignored the values I entered.
It's still impressive in some ways to be sure - but I agree the marketing I've seen for it suggested to me that it is more done that it appears to be. It's the common theme with LLM developed that marketing is pushed far too early in the process.

I'm not an artist, but isn't that what people are interested in sticking with the incumbent? See: google sheets vs microsoft excel.

From the other thread he said he wanted to hold off posting it here until it was more ready.
>IMO it is vaporware until shown to be otherwise.
You can download and run it today.
