Even if it works despite being AI slop that's been developed in a mere 4 days (?) and somehow has all these contributors, I'm not sure I agree with the idea.

It's cool that they went with Rust for it, but I would have much preferred if all that effort went towards improving GIMP and existing open formats.

If it works then I guess it's the same end result at the end of the day, but it would suck if GIMP doesn't end up being the one to put a nail on Photoshop's coffin after all these years of serious development by humans.

Edit: I already see the kneejerk dislikes coming, I'm just interested in starting a conversation about the idea of it, I also dislike the fact that it's AI slop as I already implied. I'd appreciate joining the conversation instead of dislike bombing with no argument.

It's an interesting exercise. If agentic AI is capable of easily recreating commercial software, I wonder if that'll make some software companies change their stance on it.

Not interested at all in using it though. I'm sure it'll be buggy as hell and I much prefer using software developed with actual care and purpose.
