It’s been tried. The gatekeeping of GIMP’s monstrously horrific UI/UX is both vicious and impenetrable.
A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that's true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That's why "industry standards" are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.
My hate comes from wanting it to work like LView Pro. There's no Linux image manipulation program that comes close to meeting the standard they set in 2001.
I think I remember that app? I’m going to have to go look that up. It’s shocking what one gets in a quarter of a century.
So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.
Money link donate now you!
God forbid people offer feedback.
Helpful Feedback is fine. As the OP said there is no need for disparaging feedback.
Declaring that the only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work is not a good way to solicit constructive feedback.
No one said that though.
Right, and the initial sentence

Point being, feedback is welcome, disparaging opinions are not.
Nobody declared that "only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work."
Reading comprehension, my friend.
Hmm. So doubling down then.
...uh...likewise?
I point out to you how you're mistaken, and you just go, "nuh uh."
Cool...
I understand you don’t feel understood. Perhaps you are not communicating as effectively as you believe you are.
