Is it a bad UI? Or is it a case of "I know where this thing is in Photoshop. Why isn't it in the same place in GIMP?"

It's a god awful UI. Throw Blender into that mix as well.

I find the recent versions of Blender to be much more approachable. Have you tried it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have heard some good things about newer versions of Blender, but I haven't had the project to give me a chance to try it out yet. But the original UI of Blender were soooo bad that my expectations are not super high. Blender is a piece of software that makes me especially sad because it is indeed a VERY powerful piece of software, and I despise Autodesk so much (who has a monopolyu in that industry) that I would LOVE to see Blender be more friendly.

It's an awful UI. Last time I tried to use it, it took a while to find where the layers menu was. I don't think I found how to make a brightness / contrast layer before I gave up and booted back to Windows and Photoshop.
