Blender is fantastic

GIMP needs a total overhaul by designers. The image processing is fine, plugin ecosystem is good too, but the interface needs to be updated to include concepts that have changed.

For example you can’t add an outline around text, it’s very much a raster editor with layers, when most workflows benefit from vector concepts.

Isn't that what GIMP 3.0 is going for? It's not out yet, but it is a big overhaul.

No, regrettably there won't be a major UI overhaul as part of GIMP 3, it's very much under-the-hood improvements. From what I've seen, the maintainers are very open to a UI overhaul, but they don't have the right contributors to do it in a significant way.

That said, functionality like text outlines aren't really a UI/UX feature in the main.
