> they should just copy Photoshop because everyone knows how to use it

except new users.

you're part of a self-selecting population.

Personally I think UI experimentation is awesome, because we might end up with an interface usable on modern hardware.

But new users already don’t know how to use the UI, so why should it matter? If anything it’ll allow them to get a better idea of where to go if they land on a photoshop tutorial instead of a gimp one.

I don't mean clone, I mean copy the good ideas the obvious ones like docking panels re-arrange the menu a bit. If this had happened years ago I think GIMP would have become more popular with a more accessible interface. Hamburger menus are from the devil. Be good
