    When will GIMP 2.8 be released?

    It was scheduled to be released about now, then it got bumped to February. I just now noticed that it got bumped again to March 3rd. I'm sure within two weeks, it will be sometime in April.

    Looks like they've been having a rough time for a while deciding on a splash image.

    When ever it comes out I'll just change it anyway.

    I am going to be one of many who have moved onto Krita and completely forgot Gimp existed until this thread.

    It has a rather different purpose.

    Not really, no. It just works and works well. You can find more plugins, and more unique plugins for Krita that do a job that can be as close to or indistinguishable from Photoshop. I have even played with Gimp 2.7.4 and it can't hold a candle to Krita and it's many many plugins...

    They must have changed it a lot in the past year and a half, then. Krita used to be like Microsoft Paint compared to GIMP.

    I had to install Krita as I've never heard about it before. Apparently "Krita is a KDE program for sketching and painting." It seems like KDE/QT deps are installed. At least the interface looked very KDE-ish.
