You can die on this hill if you want to. Gimp has its reputation amongst the public, and it's not for it's user friendly UI. Maybe you like the jank, but that doesn't mean it's optimal.
Also, another thing open source projects need is feedback from the public. The UI being horrid is feedback, and just because you feel the need to white knight and feel personally offended by this feedback doesnt make the feedback invalid. You can complain about the phrasing used, but if you use that as reason to disregard the feedback or get defensive and accusatory towards the person (the "what have YOU done" bit was particularly irrelevant) then you're part of the problem regardless how much you feel you're the solution.
Finally a voice of reason. I'm in the same boat. Linux everything, including any standalone products I can load it onto. I can count on one hand the number of non-linux programs I use. GIMP's interface simply sucks. They know that, they've been given feedback since 1995, they just don't care. @CrypticCoffee is in here acting like GIMP just needs some support from the community but the reality is that they've neglected decades of feedback and so they deserve what they get. If that's negative feedback, then so be it!
Blender's UI used to be a dumpsterfire too, right on part with GIMP in my opinion. They straight up redesigned that shit from the ground up and now it's an amazing and intuitive powerhouse program, and they're 7 years younger!
The fact that GIMP is 2d and blender is 3d works in gimp's favor if anything. 2D is a whole lot simpler, and blender goes into animation, mixing, audio, dozens of specialities.
TL;DR, GIMP has had decades to improve, they don't, and they deserve to reap what they sow, both positive and negative.
Krita gets ~4000 euros a month and their ui is beautiful, functional, streamlined, and dare I say on par with much, much larger offerings. Until recently Zbrush was a 1-time license purchase for years and years. Their software is incredibly powerful and their UI is well organized and feature rich, and their entire net worth is like $100k total...
I'm going to let you argue with the wall, because you'd rather talk feelings than make a coherent argument.
You're not interested in debate or discussion. You're a dedicated white knight for gimp and all it's jank, and you've no interest in engaging with the points made by others. Your best counterarguments are to either attack the person you disagree with directly, or what boils down to a "nuh uh because it works for me!".
If you want to actually discuss this do it in good faith or stop wasting our time.

I've played this a few times before, but tbh there's pretty much nothing to do.
You blast an asteroid, you spend time chasing the little chunks, you turn in the chunks for fuel/repairs/upgrades (most of which are meaningless), then repeat.
There's no story, no progression outside of a few upgrades worth taking, you're just... chasing chunks.

Even without that it's not about furries, they're thinking of therians. Furries just think anthro animals look cute, not that they're an animal in a human suit.

My take is they're a little more cautious than full Arch. Arch will just push stuff because it's "ready", Manjaro does at least some testing so I'm not the guinea pig.
I don't have any issues with AUR stuff though, everything pretty much works out of the box.
Lol that's a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches... so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.
Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That's not right.

I recall during Drumpf's presidency that blue states had to gang together on certain issues when the federal government overstepped. I'd like to think that'll happen again if they try this.
Oh yeah, it was brutal to play Apex on initially, but eventually you relearn where your eye needs to dart to to see your health and stuff and it gets a lot easier.
Then you learn how to process all that peripheral information and nobody can sneak up on you ever again lol.
Hey that's great! As someone who paid their own way through college by working full time too I'm glad to see others are getting a break. A better educated populace is a benefit to everyone, and it's not a zero sum game. Go pop some champaign if you haven't already!
