How does it translate in terms of performance in day to day tasks. I mean browsing, using productivity apps (etc). Do you think the extra instructions found on x86 can actually compensate the power hungry. Therefore, making x86 a more efficient architecture ?
- intellij: As a developer and linux user I dont see the point of paying for an IDE rather than putting the effort in improving an open source one. Therefore, paying for an IDE/editor is fundamentally wrong for me.
It’s good to see lg and sumsung (qled) trying to squeeze the maximum of what can be done with LCD panels. Until burn-in is still an issue with OLED panels im gonna stick with lcd/ips ones.
Gimp is never going to change radically, since it has already fixed an user base from people that surprising likes that horrible usability (they are everywhere read some of the comments in this thread), the right thing to do is to leave that software with them. Therefore keeping users with bad usability habits in their own little bubble, that being said, Qt developers could join forces to create a proper open source image editing app that makes sense for MOST users.
There is no such thing as a polished GTK app. GTK widgets are really bad designed take for instance the `open` or `save` dialogues, only somebody how does not care about usability could come with that. Any application (no exceptions) made in GTK+ can be done better, faster in Qt through a much more polished and robust API. it's ashamed that inkscape is tied with such bad widget toolkit.
But it has a few problems in terms of usability the major one that would be nice to get addressed at some point is GTK. Getting inkscape to run on macos for instance, requires X11 which creates a really bad integration with MacOs itself. The solution is Qt, probably this is one of those initial decisions that Inkscape devs regret everyday.
Gradients is another example about bad usability, try by yourself to add a new step to the gradient without smashing your keyboard/mouse. Turns out the solution is googling it which gives a solution for that, however you will eventually forget about that since it's non-sense (then repeating the same cycle again).
