I never got past Tarn Adams' attitude towards his interface design

The early documentation for GIMP was not merely "opaque" but "actively offensive"

…actively offensive documentation? How can documentation be actively offensive? o.O
05:06
<@Reiv>
HA HA YOU CAN'T FIND THE DRAW BUTTON YOU UTTER BUFFOON? GO AWAY AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE EVEN DOING WITH OUR GLORIOUS PINNACLE OF SOFTWARE YOU COMPLETE TWAZZOK.

<@celticminstrel>
For a second there I thought we’d been invaded by a spam bot.
05:12
<@Reiv>
Then my work here is done.
05:13
<@Reiv>
Oh, I should have written it in l33t to make it extra-offensive to the eyeballs, but even I have my limits nowadays.
05:13
<@celticminstrel>
For extra bonus points, write it in mathematical chalkboard bold.
05:22
<&McMartin>
Reiv is almost exactly correct
05:22
<&McMartin>
The bit that sticks in my mind was the seven page tutorial on "where the line tool is"
05:23
<&McMartin>
Which was operating on the assumption that the reader already knew that there wasn't one and that you used the shift key to shfit into a constrain-to-line mode with the normal pencil tool
05:23
<&McMartin>
And instead needed a lavishly-illustrated five-page guide as to where on the keyboard the shift key was
05:23
<@celticminstrel>
WTH…
05:25
<@Reiv>
And you thought I was joking? :)
05:25
<&McMartin>
I am assuming however that the initial line above was more objecting to things like "not having a line tool in the first place", rather than being insufferable about it

McMartin: for extra fun, at the time at least *the two weren't equivalent*.
08:03
<@gnolam>
You got an extra unavoidable blob at your first click.

So basically GIMP was designed to be gimped

Ah, line noise, my favourite~
17:57
<&McMartin>
I mean. APL
17:57
<&McMartin>
APL requires *extensive* unicode support just to render its traditional (custom charset) source code.
17:58
<&McMartin>
What you are looking at here is the problem that C++ templates were designed to solve
18:23

slicing your arm off?

today is a good day: I set up a 1-letter pull request

'A!'?

I changed from `1` to `i`, to fix a shuffle implementation
