Wasn't there somebody just the other day talking about Adobe's ever-growing bloated bullshit versus GIMP's sleek UI and consistent features? Oh. Right. It was me.
Honestly, I don't need the tools I use to change to become more mass-market focused. Nobody wants to eat a soup designed by consensus. I'd rather use something that suits me and have it continue to suit me than need everything to be the biggest most popular thing. Popularity seems to kind of ruin things.
