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.

You can easily add an outline around text in gimp once you learn the process.

Give me a minutes, I'll type it out.

Sorry, work got in the way.

To do this, select the text layer.

Right click, click Alpha to selection.

Voila, you have a text shaped selection mask.
