alt Hacker NewsI use Gimp pretty sporadically but the latest UI refresh (I’m guessing introduced in 3.0?) completely baffles me.
It might just be that it’s better tailored for graphic designers, which I’m clearly not. But now I can’t even figure out how to draw a square on screen. Let along anything clever.

Don't worry, GIMP's UI never made any sense to anyone (Graphic Designer or otherwise), save for hardcore GIMP fans.

Select a rectangle. Stroke or fill the selection.
I agree it's a bit counter-intuitive, but afaik it's always worked like that.

If you want to draw squares, you're probably looking for a vector drawing program, like Inkscape.
Hi! What was the last version of GIMP that you used before 3.0?
We get an equal amount of "GIMP's UI never changes!" and "You changed too much of the UI in the latest version", so it's difficult sometimes to figure out the specific issues.
