You’re making an argument (that Gimp isn’t ready for prime time), but responses like this only undermine your argument and your credibility. By my read that user was trying to respond in good faith, or at least appears that they are. By accusing bad faith and demanding they appeal to authority (your experience) you sabotage your own argument.
If as you say all professional artists hate Gimp, you could have used the same number of words to illustrate (no pun intended) one or two reasons why. And then you’re boosting your argument and your own credibility by providing facts.
And below you insist ‘you all know it’s a piece of dog shit’… have you considered the possibility that they don’t know? Maybe they aren’t professional designers, maybe they are just bystanders who only use graphics programs to occasionally touch up family photos.
If a person asks you for knowledge, replying with accusation only makes you look non-credible.
