You may not mind developer-oriented features, but the vast, vast majority of artists do. This is why Photoshop wins. Adobe has customers, and Photoshop's devs have to either listen to the customers, or be fired.

Which is exactly why a feature like the one we're discussing has been included in Photoshop for ages, along with stuff like custom swap space management for image buffers? :P

Last time I checked, Photoshop and most of adobe's products barely function on a 4k device, yet Gimp works nicely.
It's astounding that a company that makes graphics software can't support modern hardware at all.
But I guess they are the company that can't fix the tremendous piece of shit known as flash

That's a surprise and nice to hear! I thought the support wasn't too great and it requires GTK+3.x or newer. It still uses GTK+2.x (see https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap).

There are some shortcomings on the UI side (you need to take care of DPI setting for starters, and you also need to configure some details separately to have usable button sizes for instance), but I'm using it on GNU/Linux with 3200x1800 13" screen and works just fine.
