Hi, resistance is not futile! Other communities are also in a pissy mood, see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/2022-October/date.html . No community was informed, they have done this in the dead of night. Btw. I started doing almost all my drawing artwork on an iPad and for the work on my FLOSS desktop machine I migrated a long time ago to Krita, since GIMP developers already have broken GIMP a long time ago. Since Evolution depends much on GNOME [1], I expect that the next thing will be radical changes of those dependencies, rendering Evolution useless for a lot of us. Maybe we don't need a new mailing list, once Evolution does look and behave like almost all other GNOME apps. At first the migration from GIMP to Krita wasn't easy. Krita's user interface was less good and it was missing features, but in the long run I got rid of a lot of issues. OTOH KDE / Krita developers welcome users as much as GNOME / Gimp developers do. Qt based apps just don't suffer from such a bad basic concept as a lot of gtk3, let alone gtk4 apps do. In my experiences developers of proprietary software care way more about the users. For drawing, photo and publishing apps the market leader Adobe rips users off and doesn't care about users, but competitors such as Affinity outstrip Adobe. The competitors software nowadays is better and the competitors care about user experiences and the user's wishes. There will be radical changes in the future. Big companies, huge projects of FLOSS as well as proprietary software that overdo things, will take a plunge. The computer market is still quite young, as soon as it is further disenchanted, more and more users will fight back. I wish the GNOME project many, long-lasting DDoS attacks!
