@posit@chitter.xyz krita is an example of what free software should be: not only does it work™, but it's also actually good at being a program on your computer

@catoutofbed@octodon.social that reminds me of this amazing story: http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/t/TheStoryofMel.html

CW: "macho" attitudes

@posit@chitter.xyz yeah, definitely

I actually use krita for image manipulation now, because even though it's supposed to be just for art, it's easier to use

@posit@chitter.xyz I think the Open Source community has a huge issue with user interfaces:
* they're not designed by Human Interaction people
* everyone is reluctant to change them

even after all these years, GIMP still has that awful multi-window interface by default

@posit@chitter.xyz well you can keep all the audio processing and filtering and converting code, right?

That stuff is hard

@posit@chitter.xyz I wonder how difficult it would be to extract the core and rewrite the User Interface...

@codl I haven't got one yet

@codl well yeah, where else do you get your skulls?

@posit@chitter.xyz soft n cute
