    The UI and shortcut keys are unintuitive. Simple tasks that would take me seconds in Photoshop take me 5 minutes in gimp. I’ll never understand that there is always one person replying like you are here.

      My advice: Don’t do hotkeys. Just use the toolbars for literally everything. Can’t find the paths window? Check under the Windows dropdown. Real simple. Don’t like the organization? Click and drag the boxes to reorganize, stack em where you want.

      I think for several versions it’s come as Single Window mode by default which is nice, imo.
