In a past life, I grokked the gimp.

I joined IRC to humbly propose a feature. "Why would anyone want that?"

Not copying anything useful from Photoshop was a point of pride.

Congratulations on 27 years of existence. Congratulations on regular GSoC acceptance since 2006.

> Not copying anything useful from Photoshop was a point of pride. Exactly. GIMP didn't have any actual improvements to offer, but they went out of their way to NOT make a PS clone, out of sheer pettiness and ego. Like, magic wand tool is called fuzzy selection or something? Why? Why introduce a point of possible confusion for no reason whatsoever?
