They've been completely dropping the ball for years. I used to donate regularly but have completely given up on this project. It's a farce at this point.
Thankfully I only have simple needs so Krita suffices and I don't have to deal with the never-improving UX nightmare and never-releasing changes.
Yeah, I'm salty. It's just that GIMP was a shining star of FOSS and it's just been slowly rotting from inaction.

Liberapay shows the number of donors has almost doubled in the last few months (look at "view income history"), so i hope it is an indication that they made good changes to the project management and the future will be better.

Is it because they're improving, or is it because Adobe keeps pissing people off and donating to GIMP is cheaper than a Photoshop sub?
I don't actually have any opinion on gimp one way or another, it does what I need it to do.

Ha, reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBEAZFP0aA
Glad it suits your needs!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

That's good to hear, and I really would love for things to get sorted out. Gimp 3.x has many improvements for sure but there's a long way to go and actually releasing these improvements is necessary...
If gimp can become another blender that would be incredible.

GIMP really needs its Blender moment.

The reasons are made clear on their roadmap.
The GTK3 port is done, and now they need to finalize the new extension API and improve their color space support (particularly CMYK). It would be nice if Wayland had a color management protocol extension standardized by then, but I don't think it's a blocker.

Are they still using GTK2/Python 2?

I just hope they don't use CSDs and let the window manager fully manage the windows.

In X11 it's server side, and in gnome wayland it's of course client side, but they look exactly the same as the SSD ones. I doubt they'll change that between the current beta and the 3.x release.

Gimp 3 uses python 3 as well.
