there are still some traditional forums around, relevant, and pretty much the de-facto global community hub, e.g. boardgamegeek.com

i disagree. i started out on paint shop pro. moved to adobe. and then to affinity.

i have given gimp several chances through the years and it just can’t compete.

i completely switched to Affinity suit some 3 years ago at work. I was so excited when the affinity4linux install script dropped. but performance makes it near useless. slow and stuttering.

here is for hoping gimp and inkscape can one day match.
