Surely there's something better than Gimp.

    Krita, definitely, though it's still not as complete in capability it's a much better analogue

    Krita is mostly for digital artists and digital painting, while GIMP is more for image editing. They aren't made for the same purpose, even though both can do simple stuff from both worlds.

    Yeahhh, I never understood that. It can't be that difficult to make a circle tool, right?

    To be honest, I don't know how difficult it would really be, and I know it can be done with plugins. I also know it's not a tool that you end up using that much with the more advanced workflows (I myself haven't really needed it in a long time), but it would be nice if we had it.

    Whenever I open GIMP I always feel like an 18th century taxonomist's first time seeing a platypus and assuming it's an elaborate hoax cooked up by someone with far too much time on their hands. Surely this isn't software made by humans to do useful things!? This must be a joke!
