We're normally more selective with screenshots in actual release notes, but since this was a (even more) informal development update post, I used what photos were available (for instance, the spectral blending video and native file chooser dialogue picture use a different theme).
Thanks again, and I'll see what we can do about both of your design feedback!
Thank you for engaging here! Being critical of someone else's work safely from behind a keyboard is trivial, but seeing your baby being torn to shreds is never fun. The fact that you are taking it in stride and are this open to constructive feedback leaves me hopeful for GIMP's future.
As we've seen with Blender: all it takes is a few handful of people who really care about the UX to turn a project from a developer-focused "I guess it technically has all the parts?" into a user-focused "It is actually a pleasure to use and it is free - why haven't you switched yet?".
