Looking back at 2021, looking forward at 2022 (Libre Arts)

Here is acomprehensive look on the Libre Arts site at the current state of freesoftware for creative artists.

The other reason is that, with a project like GIMP, it's hard to dojust one thing. The team is constantly bombarded with requests thatare mostly doable once you have a team of 10 to 20 full-timedevelopers, which is light years away from where GIMP is now. Whichresults in a lot of running around between under-the-hood work, UXfixes, featurettes, better file formats support etc. So you giveeveryone a little of what they want but you end up delaying anactual release because the big stuff still needs to happen.
