The discussion revolves around the newly embedded Python interpreter in GIMP 3.0, which allows for plugin development using Python rather than relying on the system Python. The uncertainties around the potential of LLMs (Large Language Models) to create plugins from provided resources were raised but met with skepticism about their capacity to interpret such specific programming needs. Users express hopes for improvements in GIMP's user experience and advocate for the introduction of WebAssembly (wasm) plugin support in various applications. There is a sentiment of longing for GIMP to succeed as many users are moving away from Adobe products. Some users voice frustration regarding the interface compared to platforms like Photoshop, which could hinder wider adoption. The transition from macOS to Linux is also discussed, indicating positive experiences with GIMP on Linux. Overall, the community shares a mix of optimism and concern about the future development of GIMP 3.0 and its usability nuances compared to competitors.
