I got irritated by the differences, but I was more irritated by Microslop, so it was the lesser of two irritants. I mostly figured it out eventually. Finding H2 is always at the bottom of the entire style list though for some fucking reason like there's no excuse for that kind of mild irritation

You could always move it and submit a pull request. That is one of the beauties of open source!

Y'know what maybe I will. Fuelled by the power of irritation I'll try and fix it. If anyone's reading this in a few months and the header tags are in a logical order; you're welcome

you're right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it's not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with "good enough," and it doesn't win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

We are talking about software built by, in many cases, volunteers. The only way it will get better, or good enough for the average person, is if those who can help do so. The only real alternative in practice is open source the way IBM, Google, and Oracle do it, and they wouldn’t do that anyway if the volunteers didn’t exist.

@atomicbocks @anewfox We actually have a UX site where we ask for user feedback and design suggestions - no coding required! https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/work/_items

Feel free to contribute if interested. It's not always immediately possible to implement everything, but we do our best as we're able - recent news posts have included a UX/UI section so we can highlight the work being done and show that we *are* willing to take feedback. :)

Thank you for being responsive, positive, and understanding of the 'common user' in this thread. I have seen quite the opposite attitude from other GNOME software contributors.
