    I wish I could, but this is a systemic problem, not a problem with one individual project.

    Is the mindset that anyone looking for open source, FOSS, or Linux stuff is already tech-savvy enough to know exactly what they are looking for based solely on a text description?

      I think it’s more so that the kind of people contributing to these projects are on balance not that interested in doing the marketing work.

        Do the operating systems the contributors use not have a screenshot function?

        I mean, seriously, simply highlighting a few features would make a massive difference.

        I speak for all projects, not just GIMP.

          These projects are run by volunteers, they don’t have the unlimited budget for designers that Adobe does. And to be honest, it kinda seems like you’re just criticizing them for no good reason. Have you personally designed and built a website that doesn’t suck?
