    I’m not complaining about GIMP, I’m complaining about the attitudes people have towards potential users of free software.

      That’s fair, but those users seem to not know what they want: they think posting it will fix the problem. It won’t, we have discovered with valve that money is the problem in FOSS. Turns out if you just pay people shit gets done in Linux. We should focus efforts to get money flowing to GIMP, not laying blame on the existing users who don’t care. It’s literally not their fault, it’s the lack of funding which is why Linux isn’t more popular.

        Absolutely, when you look at what Linux does get used for and where it’s dominant, there’s shit loads of money getting poured into it.
