  • Krita is also more of a Paint.NET than a Photoshop replacement.

  • And UI usability.

  • Honestly, GIMP is not a good alternative to Photoshop. I know, "it's free" is enough for many people, but it ... just isn't.

  • Unlikely, as even NeoMutt (which could improve it) still does it quite manually.

  • Ah, Graphite. I forgot the name. Thanks!

  • But multi-account usage in Mutt is really… leaving room for improvement.

  • Which one could replace GIMP? I might be curious. I saw a few development projects, but I don’t know their current state.

  • HTML is not that bad. I’d still argue that writing HTML e-mails is just a really bad idea. But yes, org has a somewhat cleaner syntax.

  • HTML is text and org is basically a better Markdown. :-)

  • +1 for mu4e, really awesome software. There are a few HTML composing tweaks possible, I use org-msg that lets me compose HTML with org. (See my configuration.)

  • Critics on social media called it “insane” and a sign of “fascist” ambitions.

    I don't believe that ‘being able to be elected by voters one more time’ is even close to being the same as a ‘fascist dictatorship’.

  • Paying developers to do work definitely helps.

    The lead developer of GIMP currently receives about €1,200 per month in donations via PayPal, and the entire GIMP project receives even more via LiberaPay. Admittedly, this is not really ‘their paid job’.

    But now I've had to listen to open source fans for over twenty years saying that open source software shows that you don't need a lot of money, just a lot of volunteers to do much better work together. I don't doubt that (for example) Blender is excellent software, donations or not (they didn't always exist). But why does this concept fail when it comes to image editing software?
