You know how retarded GIMP's handling of this is?
You can press - to zoom out, but you need to push SHIFT + to zoom in.
Yes I know that = and not-numpad + share a key. They could have easily just made = make it zoom in, and it would have been exactly what you claim.
CTRL - and CTRL + are pretty standard keyboard commands that work in a variety of programs going back to the 90s. When things work by convention, you save time and effort and therefore US Dollars and/or gold.

If you're a grown ass adult that needs a image editing program you're probably a big fag.

I'll give it a look. The screenshots sorta remind me of Paint Tool SAI, any relation?
Calm yourselves, niggers. I'll use whatever non-GIMP image editor works best for me.

Never. Explain why you need it in the first place. If you're making memes or "art" I will commit a hate crime on your ass.

Okay maybe I'm being a bit harsh. I'm still a bit riled up but after punching a few holes in my my walls but I think maybe you can try pixlr. It's a web based editor so you can be jewish even about your disk space not having to even install anything.

I just use Corel Painter 2019 I got on Humble Bundle in like 2020. It mostly allows me to do whatever I need to in making memes for my friends or minor photo editing. Both Photoshop and GIMP are shit programs and they both gave me nigger AIDS last time I downloaded them.

it suffers from what I like to call "Autistic UI" where the autists who made the product didn't know how to design a UI, and just shoved it all together and said it works..Who cares if it's two buttons to zoom? Who cares if you can't read it, or find the right settings, or just have shit menus? it works!
Blender suffers the same problems.

>using keybinds to zoom
>not mapping the modifier keys to your MMO mouse and using them with the scroll wheel to zoom/pan in every piece of software ever
Why are you even talking about workflow optimization grievances? You know nothing. You're like a little baby. All this time wasted complaining when you haven't even given thought to the most basic of things. What's even the point of running linux if you're not willing to think for even a second about how to solve your problems, how to improve your efficiency? Pathetic.

"Why do pens suck so much? Paintbrushes are so much better man, I'm trying to make an oil painting on canvas and my pen just feels bad and is giving me a bad experience while the brush is fine. Why do pens even exist when you have brushes?"

I can also hold CTRL and the middle button on my TrackPoint to zoom. I use both methods.

yeah, GIMP works fine for me and my meme edits, as evidence by anyone who has seen the stuff i post, but man is the ui crap. it isnt the worst free software UI ive ever seen,but it certainly takes time to figure it out and get used to using it. gimp needs a huge overhaul of the UI, but if you did that the autist who use it would scream and stomp their feet over it.

The retard developers of GIMP could do something similar: retard mode and Photoshop mode.

Tried using Blender. It's like sitting in the Space Shuttle cockpit. All I could make was a grey cube in a blue void.

I dunno about incapable, but it certainly seemed unnecessarily different and in some cases literally backwards from Photoshop to do the same things, when I was forced to use it for a time (Photoshop 7/CS1 era). I dunno if it's gotten better or worse since then.
I'm not sure if those design choices were autism, avoiding lawsuits from Adobe, or what, but it took a lot of googling to wrap my photoshop trained brain around it.
