Too long for you?  Well, then why don't you contribute to its
development?

GIMP offers many channels for contributors.

Otherwise stop complaining.  This is FOSS, and FOSS does
not magically grow on trees.

GIMP is one of the great wonders of the FOSS world.

GIMP outshines commercial competitors in many areas but
commercial software is oriented towards idiots.  GIMP,
for the most part, is not.

Like LibreOffice, GIMP is GIMP and it does not attempt
any emulation.
