That is not right. Gimp is mostly photoshop.

Because, much like the guy in your picture, it is incapable of drawing a circle.

They wanted to bring out the gimp, but the gimp was asleep, so they had to wake him up.

1. Use circular select with 1:1 resolution or predefined bounds - 2.5 seconds to do.
2. Shrink selection by n pixels to get exactly the desired line weight - 0.7 seconds.
3. Delete selectiom: 0.1 second.
3.3 seconds to draw the sexiest, most perfect circle you've ever drawn. GIMP is a dream I don't want to wake up from.

freetards are fucking terrible at marketing, to the point where they actively sabotage potential crossover appeal to business & normie consumers.

I see no problem. Pony is just an avatar.

Marketing and art are hard to improve, even if you know that and everyone desires improvement, because of bikeshedding.
Ask people how they should build a shed, and they, recognizing their relative inability, say leave it to the expert builders. Ask how the shed should be painted and decorated, and suddenly every moron believes they're an expert on design and aesthetics.
This creates insurmountable barriers up for someone actually capable of design and marketing to step forward and course correct.

You have to look at the origins of it. It did not start out as a general image manipulation programme. It was for manipulating one specific image for one specific purpose.
And that related to pr0n.
Not a single pepper reply, this place has gone to shit.
