"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."
What a fantastic insight.
GIMP being free to just download from their site, and still being used far less (even by novices) than paid or pirated Photoshop really tells the whole story.
The average lemmy user compared to the general public is just far more used to trading away quality to stay with Free and Open-Source Software, to the point of sometimes apparently being blind to the mainstream option's appeal.
"Whatever I use is objectively better and y'all just blind and an average hivemind bot"
Intuitiveness is objective and measurable, and I'm very certain that Photoshop would demolish GIMP if a test was done.
"intuitiveness is objective and measurable" is such a hilarious thing to say. Like yes it's possible to measure how quickly people can come to understand an app but to say that, therefore, we have an objective understanding of 'intuitiveness' and can say "Hamburger menu instead of kebab menu here???? That is O B J E C T I V E L Y unintuitive" is sooo fucking silly.
You know what's actually silly? GIMP.
