    genius reply. i love that in the same comment where you say devs can’t be design gods you say designers should make an entire software platform.

    and no, they’re not supposed to be design gods, which is why I said there should be a platform that enables designers to contribute, which would take the burden off the devs. words must be hard.

      I know very little about GIMP or other OS design software, but does this software have a plugin system that designers could use to extend the software so they can use it how they want?
      That would be another thing to look into

      Alright making this really simple.

      These are the interpretations of you and your words:

      • you are a dev
      • you think GIMP’s design is shit
      • you think GIMP devs should be better at design and are worth shitting on
      • you purport to have a solution

      My words:

      • stop shitting on devs for design
      • build the solution you purport to have

      Nowhere do I say “designers should write code”.

      Are we on the same page now?

        that’s a bad interpretation.

        • no I’m a designer, which is why I’m talking about design
        • yes it is
        • no, devs are devs and designers are designers. I think it would be nice for designers to have more opportunity to contribute to open source projects
        • having a solution is a bit generous. I just said having an easy to use platform for designers would make open source projects more approachable.

        and to your words:

        • I’m shitting on the design, not the devs. stop personalizing criticism it’s a terrible way to live and work.
        • if I could I would

        Nowhere do I say “designers should write code”.

        except for literally the very previous sentence. of course you don’t realize that because you somehow assumed I’m a dev despite my comments being entirely about design and even implying that I don’t even know how the fuck git works

        Are we on the same page now?

        clearly not
