The ...To be fair, the GIMP website is hard to use. The download link in the navigation is hard to pick out at a glance, and the download button gets lost in the banner. People don't care about the branding, so they skip the banner and get to reading the text (the important bit, or so it should be), thus missing the button.<br /><br />As for the downloads page itself- it is utterly bizarre. None of the links on the downloads page are actually downloads of the GIMP- instead, you've got a list a commands, some links to FTPs and a list of MD5 sums.<br /><br />The first- only!- thing you expect on a page called "Downloads" is downloads of the program in question- there's a tonne of stuff on that page, and none of it is that.<br /><br />The website doesn't even tell you what platforms GIMP is available for- why would I check the footer for links to the Windows download? I've just been to the "Downloads" page, and it ain't there.<br /><br />I think your supposedly undesirable, problem user was right. That website is crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-773280565238557082011-06-09T16:58:05.489+03:002011-06-09T16:58:05.489+03:00Many people are twits :) They won't see anythi...Many people are twits :) They won't see anything until they are beaten over the head with it repeatedly.
