sublime_text VS PhotoGIMP

Sublime is a massive improvement in my opinion, and cross platform. It's not free but you can use a personal license at work and on multiple machines.

Starting with PHP can feel like navigating through fog, with complex syntax making you feel lost in a maze of code. This phase requires you to learn the basics of the PHP language, deeply understanding its syntax, features, and design patterns, including variables, data types, functions, classes and objects, namespaces, etc. From variables to classes, progressively deepen your understanding of PHP's core knowledge. It's advisable to combine the official PHP documentation and online tutorials to build a solid foundation. Resources and tools to consider: PHP official documentation, PHP manual, online tutorials, PHPStorm, and other Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Consider practicing basic coding with PHPStorm and Sublime Text.

The format of the test files themselves is inspired by the relatively new initiative by the Sublime Text team when they introduced a new grammar file format called Sublime Syntax and – more importantly – a way to unit test grammars. It’s using some lovely human-friendly magic comments that allow to specify what scopes should the grammar file produce for a given position on a given line.

Sublime Text

Sublime Text - Sublime Text is a popular, versatile, and highly customizable text editor used for coding and text editing tasks.

Sublime Text: A versatile and lightweight code editor (it’s my favorite code editor).

i would consider buying if they stop shipping eol software. they ship py3.3 which is eol of 10 years! seems like a wont fix too

Medium/Heavy: SublimeText. Still intensely faster than VSCode.

I used to use PhotoShop heavily and still have a lot of the UI muscle-memorized. I switched to GIMP + https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP and found it mostly fits my needs for basic image editing.

There's also photoGimp:

But it's interesting if we can get FOSS Gui toolkits that allow for different approaches to menu/toolbar/discovery where the user can easily adjust and select how things should work - like readline Emacs/vi selection on steroids for Gui.

There is this project that might help you:

I doubt it, code needs to be maintained , even if you will get stuck on old libraries you could miss out on features and improvement, of course if the changes are small and it's more like a patchset (something like photogimp) , that might be more feasible.

I don't like gimp at all, but you can still try PhotoGimp.

did you try PhotoGIMP?
