GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

port from GTK2 to GTK3

Migrating from an already rooten toolkit to a toolkit that is dead since a few years.

Nice.

    It’s almost like the whole customized apps to fit into the GTK framework concept creates too much added work and needs to be rethought.

    I don’t understand why someone should choose any GTK variant when they’ll have to refactor and rewrite their application every few years.
