GIMP 3.0 is over 96% complete! The GIMP team got sick at the Libre Arts conference over the summer, hence the setback to the release schedule but they are now back making good progress.

Along with non-destructive editing and a colour overhaul we've all been waiting for, longstanding critics of the UI/UX will be pleased to hear that GIMP are setting up a UX repository and are looking to build a dedicated team of designers to develop this.

All of these things look set to make the GIMP project feel a lot more current and dynamic. I can't wait!

And if anyone wants to help out it looks like testing/reporting, donations and updating the help manual are all welcomed by the project at the moment.

I agree with you there. I've personally found it very interesting to try new programs and figure out each one's layout and work flow, but I've found many people absolutely hate doing that. I get it, if you want to just use the product for what it's intended for maybe you don't want to waste time learning the differences. All of that in consideration, I don't think gimp is that bad
