Macros are on the roadmap (https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/#macros-script-recor...), and in fact we did a lot of prepwork for them during 3.0's development (internally, several features like filters and plug-ins now have configs that store settings, which will be used by macros in the future to repeat operations).
I can't speak for GNU Guile, but I wasn't even aware I was in the running for the "Outstanding New Free Software Contributor Award" when I got the email, and I didn't know anyone on the committee. So I don't think there was a conflict of interest.
There's definitely plenty of people out there who were equally deserving of the award!
We've implemented a number of items from the issue posts once consensus was reached, and we hope more people will participate and help improve GIMP further.
If I understand correctly, "omnisearch" would be pressing a button to pull up a box to search through all the menu options? If so, then yep, GIMP's had that for a long time by pressing "/".
Right now you can import/export CMYK JPEGs, TIFFs, PSDs, and JPEG-XL. You can also soft-proof to simulate print, and the color picker/selector can be set to show CMYK values for your assigned profile.
A full CMYK mode is on my TODO list now that 3.0 is out. :)
Huh. I genuinely didn't expect photo editing software to be lacking users on macOS.
I hope the GTK team figures out how to consistently load the right font here. A lot of great work seems to have gone into GIMP 3, so it's a shame that a bug like this makes it look unpolished.
We actually set up a dedicated UX repo for people to present design issues and discuss. The goal is to develop good designs that can then be implemented by programmers. If you're interested in contributing to the discussion, the repo is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/issues
Just FYI, changing icons/themes/tool groups is even simpler in 3.0. In the Welcome Dialogue that pops up on start, you can change all those settings in the Personalize tab.
You can change both if you like (it's one of the first things I do whenever I install GIMP on new systems)! In 2.10, you can change the icons in Preferences under the Icon Theme section, and remove tool groups in the Toolbox section.
In 3.0 it's even easier, as both options are available in the Personalize tab of the Welcome Dialogue. I'm hoping this will help make that feature more discoverable. :)
