Its not useless when literally 99% of the people who tried GIMP Over the past 25+ years have had the exact same reaction, pretending its not a thing its whats useless

It is worthless, in fact. Because it's not actionable. Read what the above user said again :

Every time I open gimp to try and get acclimated to it, I close it back out of frustration. Nothing is intuitive in that software. Not even the naming of the tools settings.

Nothing in here is specific enough to do anything about it. Imagine you're a developer, and you read this. What do you do ?

As users, we may not be able to program stuff, but we can do so much design work. Making mockups takes some time but it's within our reach. Let's all contribute to the best of our ability. If all a user can say is "Nothing is intuitive", then their feedback can only be dismissed. Because it's not actionable.

Oh and once you done all of the writeup actually submit it to the devs so they can work with it instead of leaving it to languish on a random web forum

How many of those who have never used Photoshop would have the same reaction to Photoshop?

This is what always frustrates me when people complain about GIMP's UI!

The common opinion is to "make it more like Photoshop", but Photoshop is absolutely not beginner friendly - most of those people are just familiar with it already.

I remember being completely lost and constantly getting annoyed when I first started using Photoshop.
