Used gimp since v0.54 back in the 90&#x27;s.  It&#x27;s sure come a long way since then.  I&#x27;ve been using v2.9.x on Linux and lately trying it on Windows 10.  Not so good on Windows, but the Linux version seems pretty solid.<p>IOW for most users, including me, gimp 2.9 will be good enough for most anything we&#x27;re likely to throw at it.  And BTW I think xfce works well, reasonably complete (except for controlling Wacom drawing tablets).  To me KDE&#x2F;Gnome, might as well be using Windows...
