I find that Adobe is really pulling away from open source software with all this AI stuff. A few years ago it could be argued that GIMP, Inkscape, and Darktable could do almost everything that Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom could, albeit with a jankier user interface.

But now none of the open source software can compete with AI generative fill, AI denoising, and now AI rotation.

To a Linux user, yes. To a professional, it was always a cruel joke, it was never close, even a few years ago. It's like saying Notepad++ is a functional IDE, or Kdenlive is a functional replacement for DaVinci Resolve.

I cannot stress this enough: Actual professionals do not think GIMP is a viable replacement, in any way, and never have.

GIMP did spawn one kinda good thing, GTK was made because Peter Mattis disliked Motif and wrote a replacement and called it the GIMP toolkit
