Just had a look at the GIMP 3.0 milestones page and saw this.

Am I missing anything or is GIMP 3.0 actually going to be released soon?!

Exactly.

And even with the stuff it can do takes 10x longer to do than with most other raster editing software because the UI and UX is so darn convoluted. Like, seriously, I want to like GIMP, but frankly I and most people in fact ain't gonna spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how to rotate a layer. Lol.

Frankly, at this point, I just wish Paint.\NET was able to be run on Linux, but I believe it still uses some Windows-specific components—can't remember what they are—that can't quite yet be replicated properly using Mono. (Might be some Windows-specific DLLs? Idk.)
