I find this funny, since I did a Gimp tutorial back in 2000 (early Gimp 2.x maybe, but maybe still 1.x -- I don't remember that part). I got okay with it.
A friend asked me to do some early photo editing a couple of years later since they'd heard that I was "good at Photoshop". I pointed out that I was actually "mediocre at Gimp". I was plunked down at a computer with a (probably pirated) install of Photoshop and asked to touch up some photos.
I hated it. Nothing was where I expected it to be coming from Gimp. If I recall correctly, I closed Photoshop and just downloaded Gimp for Windows.
It sounds like I might hate Gimp 3.
The article summary in the post explains that it will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation just before he leaves office. So it won't be available for future presidents.
