How do you mean "spam attack". Is Vesta some kind of scam?

That would be really interesting project. Only up for it if it's open source.

Afaik PSD support has been improved significantly as of late.

I suspect a lot of the hate gimp gets is from people that have not used 2.8/2.10 I used to hate on gimp UI/UX but now it has SIGNIFICANTLY improved.

The problem is bigger, IMO. Frontend is generally a disgrace for this profession. Biggest projects are a mess that would never see the light of day had they been backend-related. Babel, React, Webpack are maintained far worse than libraries having 10% of their userbase in languages like Python. JS is a fucked up language and we all know it. You couldn't done any worse if you tried to. Until we as a community will not stop tolerating this bullshit, problems will be solved using 2000% more memory/cpu/io than they actually need.

this comment is a great example of baseless couch-general type of pessimism
